3800 v6

I'll ship you the Barra's, you ship me the 4L80's

you do know what I think of Fords, right? though I may be bought for a few "ran when pulled" 3800s (like the one I just got with a rattly rod).

joking aside, an allegedly useable 4L80e isn't that expensive - can you sneak them in as "used farm parts?" like I did with the 300tdi?

The only thing I can think of that came with a 4L80e were the 6.5 Suburbans that Holden sold here around the turn of the century. They would have only sold a few thousand of them.
Just stick a glide in it, done!

sounds like there's opportunity to smuggle in some 4L80s
go to the race track "hey buddy, you want 4 speeds?"

I wonder at 4L80e availability in Australia... that was pretty much a truck-only deal...

It would be awesome if they made a Metric60 bell for the later 4L80E with the detachable bellhousing.

I've seen a Riviera and I think an Aurora with a 4T80E and an L67. Documentation I've read said you have to remove one of the knock sensors and clearance the block slightly around the bellhousing to make it fit but that's pretty minor work.

Pretty much all round too. Breaks 4T65E's and 4L60E's as well. I don't think I've heard of them breaking a 4T80E but that was never factory.

the common theme seems to be good power, shit transmissions.

I'm thinking this one will be nowhere near the NG one, low, no mid 13 with a first pass in the 14's ... The NG one has it's problems also.

I still think Nugget garage 3800s better
