    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    I would keep all the harnesses and then get rid of them after the swap. Better to have them and not need them...

    Anyone recognize this 80

    I don't recognize it but that don't mean much. I would suggest going to a Heart of the South cruisers meeting if your near Huntsville.

    Best 80 series rear drawer camping setup

    I built my own about 10 years ago and still enjoy it. About 2 sheets of plywood, 2 pair of slides, 8 hinges and a pair of locking paddle handles. Sprayed it with Rhinoliner and done. Lay the second row down, put 2x4 block under it to level seat and you have a sleeping platform.

    Builds LX450 "Rex" Build

    Nice! I have 33's and the best I have gotten so far is 14.8 mpg. But it cruises so effortlessly at 80 it is unreal

    Actually I'm gonna disagree, the trans are fine it is the programming that causes the problem which is usually torque convertor failure. If you get a good tuner that problem can be easily solved.

    Most of the time I get high 13 low 14 mpg with a built 6.0 and 6L80 trans. Can get better if we tune it for premium fuel. Highly recommend 6 speed transmission
