4l65 or 6l80 transmission for conversion ?

[jas89]

Hello there.
I'm in the parts purchasing stage of an upcoming conversion. I'll be using the FJ62 as a daily on freeway drives as well as weekend overland trips. I'm interested in hearing from others who have used these transmissions and the ups and downs of both. I will definitely have a well built tranny of either choice, but want to hear how each one has worked for peeps.
Thanks everyone!

What are you planning to put in front of it?

x2, what are you putting in front of it, and what is your appetite for project? If you want as plug and play as possible, the 4l60 is the way to go, we make literally every part you would need to fabricate for the entire swap for a Gen 3 / 4l60e into a FJ62

I'm shooting for a lq9 out of a Escalade. I'm pretty savvy with these trucks, but haven't done a conversion yet, so ready to go stuff is cool! I'll check out your stuff Matt.
Thanks

We also have a few more new things done and coming soon like fan shrouds, fuel lines, radiator hoses, heater hose kits, just haven’t got to the site yet.
Constantly developing!

Very cool man! Looks like I've found my one stop shop. Maybe a complete package deal for everything you mentioned?
Also Matt, have you experienced problems with leaks on the AA transfer to tranny adapter?
