separated the 6L80/Engine.
pulled the pan and the 6L80 looks to be in good shape nothing unusually in the pan. the magnet was almost clean.
i'll install new input and output seal, along with a new filter and torque convertor.
Pulled the engine apart and everything looked good on the heads, only had 2 broken exhaust bolts to deal with. The cam bearings had some wear (normal from what i have read) and the cylinder walls had a few little hot spots you might say . looks like it might have had a couple long periods between oil changes. i think it will hone out without much fuss. all the bearing in the bottom end looked excellent. pistons has a little "varnish" on the ring ledges. I figured i'm in it this far lets go ahead and freshen it up. dropped it off at eh machine shop they said they were 2+ months backlogged but, might get to it a little quicker since they aren't having to put it back together. so back in pause mode.
only grabbed a couple pictures, as I was in a hurry to get it to the machine shop. got there 2 minutes before they closed.

I have the stage 2 v2 cam. I really wish I went with the truck norris cam though. But it hadn't come out yet at the time.
So I guess they didn't need it for 2 months. . Awesome sauce!
Sex machine bro.
Life gets in the way..... you're miles ahead of my swap. Need to hunt down a newer 10 speed to replace the 8 speed with to even start on the wiring. Hell the 80 is currently leashed to a tree.
Not to hijack Eric's thread here, but 10 speed? What's wrong with the 8sp (6L80e I assume?) you have already?
Looking good @fourtrax
Looking great!
Is your sunroof delete a flat plate, or did you have something curved to match the angle of the roof?
I'm preparing to do the same!
