I understand the directs going up...that seems to happen on most trannies I mess with and the ODs also in there.
What clutches did you/are you planning? BW Tans, Rays Blues, Alto Reds?

The 8.1/Dmax bellhousings are almost certainly different. I do know in the Ford arena... there were 460/'Stroke diesel specific E4OD trannies (E4OD is the Ford equiv of the 4L80E) that WILL NOT bolt to the 300/302/351W.
That being said, I will assume there are 8.1 specific 4L80Es...

Yeah, maybe the wide ratio kit.....will have to see how it launches with the Yank. I havent had a lot of seat time with the '80 -only one track outing and I cant compare apples to apples cause it was a new motor, trans and converter since last year, but I think my best 60 ft last year N/A was 1.67 and it cut a couple 1.69 s this year already so I assume I am making quite a bit more power than last year to 60 ft close to the same as last year, but now with that crappy 1 st gear.
So with the lower gearset I would think the ET s would be better.

All GM bellhousing patterns for chevrolets are the same. Big Block, Small Block, 348/409 all of it. The allison should bolt to a small block no problem with the correct converter spacing.
