buying used 4l80e.. look for?
alright so shortly ill be supercharged and maybe a little shot of nitrous. not sure as of yet but id like to get 450 to the wheels. i would rather not mess around with built 60's unless someone gives me a good reason to keep it.
question is... am i better off paying 900 for a 2007 20k mile 4l80e out of a van or spend only 500 or so on a higher mileage trans from a 2500hd truck. i would think the van would get less abuse and i see that its totalled so it must have been running when its life ended. im thinking of selling the new hd2 i have for 60e and buying one for the 80. and also selling my vig 3200 for a circle d 80 converter.
either way i go i will be changing driveshafts because of the ridiculously long one piece in my truck

i have looked at car-part.com and talked to my bros shop. they said they can get me anything from there. guy from a local yard just got back in touch with me and said he can do 675 for the 20k mile one out of a work van. anything i should look for in particular? id assume my starter will work with this and want to get a converter which will let me keep my stock flex plate.
