modified junkyard 80e for troys truck

my friend corey who has done all our 80e transmissions did the one for troys pickup today, super super clean trans, looks like new inside hahha

4l80e mounted and more ranting

4l80e and converter installed, and some other details

well we got the trans and the converter in no problem, the trans mount is a little beat, none of the parts stores had em, so we will try some others tomorrow or order that off the internet, also the driveshaft is 2 piece, and has a center support and bearing, that bearing rubber isloator thing is shot, i got a replacement but turns out now that we cut mine out, it does not fit, haha, so i need  one that fits, after this i just decided to get the cold side piping done, thats all clamped in place, a little tight to the belt, but not hitting, might have to hammer it or get a 45degree for the throttle instead of a 90, on top of that i finished the wiring for the fuel pumps and meth and oil pumps, i just have to connect them to a fuse panel tomorrow, i ran out of spares haha.

also drilled the stock washer fluid tank for the methanol kit, thing holds nearly 2 gallons... ran the lines, drilled and tapped the intake pipe now that that is in place, and primed the system. T'd the hobbs switch for that meth pump into the intake where the map sensor is plugged in and set it for 6psi of boost.

i also got a blackbear harness for LS1 fans since i found a deal on a set of LS1 fans, connected all that cept for the AC connection, have to get the car running and test for the AC clutch power wire to make sure i tap the right one.

other than that list, there is still a bunch more to do.

welder is out of welding gas...
haha

built the 4l80e in the middle of the night

my friend corey came over after work at 11pm, and we did the transgo kit in the 4l80e, only took about 2 hours to complete it, trans looks great and its ready to install tomorrow with the circle D converter

quick rip in the 80e fairmont with the 3.55 gears and drag radials

taking out the car for a drive with the 4l80e installed, making sure everything is working.
