Wow, hate to hear of that much trans trouble man. Hope the 80e serves you well.
If you have electrical issues with the PCM/TCU stuff I'm guessing you could have all the trans programming tuned out and run a manual valvebody with a slap-shifter. Not the best for normal driving, but for racing they're awesome.

Thanks for asking. I do not install cages, however I do have relationships with shops that can and do install cages. I could strip it down and deliver it to my guy, have the cage installed and reinstall the components removed for hr cage install. No big deal. And yes I can do the motor swap as well. If you'd like to call I wouldn't mind helpin you plan the project.

I honestly would never think about putting any kind of real power through the Jatco RE5R05A. These units have issue in stock form and we see them often in the shop I work in. I will also add the the radiators in those vehicles suck. We constantly see units in where the trans oil looks like a milk shake. Seems to be a common issue for these. If you plan on using the factory radiator do yourself a favor and bypass the radiator all together for the trans. Install an external cooler to avoid screwing up your new 80E. HTH Vince

Stock rotors and brake system ------ replaced
rear end differential --------------- replaced
radiator----------- replaced
shitty radiator fans--------- replaced
only thing i can think of that might still be a weak link is my stock pistons and rods, but those are going to get taken care of this summer as well.
