80 Series General Tech and Classifieds

[euclid]

I did have. I ran 285s and then 305s and (for a very short time) 315s. The 285s and 305s seemed to preform identically...as they are nearly the same height. I liked to look of the wider 305, for sure.

Just noticed the 295/75. May check it as an option between 305 & 315....

295/75/16 for the win. Toyo AT2 Extreme are my tire of choice

 

[G-Cat]

I have the AT II on my 100...love them...wish I had the extreme.

Tech: dont do this although it totally removes the bow in the springs

 

[jynx]

Ummm.....

I got nothing for that.

Did you acquire the LS1 recently, or has it been in your stash for a while?

 

[wngrog]

Awesome.

 

[fountainhead]

Nice find.

 

[wngrog]

So great.

Rob better hurry up or he won't be the first V8 swap 80 in the club.

 

[MScruiser]

That's going to be killer. Can't wait to see the finished project, @geologic

 

[wngrog]

Put a 4L60 in it. That's plenty when built right.

 

[MScruiser]

I had the 4l60 in my 1968. It was plenty adequate. My engine was making around 380 hp

 

[offr0adlim0]

4L60 adaptor doesn't line up either. 6L80 is supposed to but requires another trans computer when used with an earlier engine

 

[fountainhead]

Dibs on the LS1.

 

[euclid]

Got an OEM window gasket on the way. Onur told me the gasket needs to be glued to the body. Glass shop recommendations?

 

[wngrog]

I've used Venable in Ridgeland for all of my vehicles and they have done good.

Roger Venable and crew do a great job.

It will go, and make a nice swap but good bit of rengineering will have to take place, tcase moves, shafts lengthened/ shortened, weld in not bolt in mounts, custom adapter plate to move the high low shifter forward, kit from Summit to mate the cable shift 4l80e to factory shift lever, its interesting, Mark's recommends the 4l80e swap though, they say this is their normal routine and that nothing new is coming!

Check with TLC 4x4 to see if they have anything for the 80. They have several things for the 60 that make it easier, but you have to call. Its not on the website.

 

[77TLCFJ40]

Venable for sure.
