Honestly, I would do a built 4l80e. 2wd or 4wd? If you are 4wd, https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=448166 this is a pretty good deal for all the parts.

Definitely a good buy on the 80 from thunder550. If you want one of the strongest 4l60e units on the market right now I would look into this.

Here are a few pictures of the billet parts now being used.

Rossler does a good trans too.

Blackburns SS has went 11.01 and is trapping 125+ with a Rossler 65e.
