A STOCK 80e will hold just as much (or more) than a built 60/65...the only downside of the 80e is the slight weight increase and the 2.48 first gear, but you can get the low-gear set for a TH400 and it will swap right in

I took it to a local performance shop for the swap. Every with a lift, tranny jacks, etc., it still took 'em the better part of two days. Chuck (the owner of the shop) told me he personally spent 4-5 hours trying to convince the starter to come out...

Mental Note: Never fix the starter myself.

WOW. I'll pass.

Looks like I'm just doing headers this Friday.
