4L80E in a C4 - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
C4 Tech/Performance - 4L80E in a C4 - Would a 4L80E transmission fit into a C4 corvette because this looks like it is the way to go for a 4 speed automatic High HP capacity Transmission. Also I heard that it only runs with a computer but what if I use a non electronic 4L80E like the one from...

Dana 60 IRS - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
Drag Racing - Dana 60 IRS - I thought you guys might want to see what is probably one of the strongest IRS setups around. This setup is similar to Jim Moore's (427Hotrod) 67 Convertible assembly. I purchased the assembly two years ago from an NHRA class racer. I had planned to run the setup in...

while technology is constantly advancing, and I love working on the muscle-car era cars,
most of us tend to work with or modify the engine or drivetrain that came with the original car!
that's VERY understandable as it insures you run into far fewer fit & function issues.
only the marginally insane and well equipped hot rodders like myself tend to assemble combos of parts,
the factory engineers never thought of, (mostly because the OLDER cars were built before those components existed)
SO GUYS WITH MARGINAL COMMON SENSE (yeah i'm guilty at times)
TRY RETRO-FITTING NEWER PARTS IN OLDER CARS)
its been my experience that extensive research, before you open your wallet, tends to save you a ton of miss spent cash,
some of the newer transmissions don't have rebuild parts available yet.
you always have options, so do research before jumping into any project,
there's always better and newer options, the TH400 IS A WELL RESPECTED HOT RODDER CHOICE BUT IT is at least 50 plus year old tech,
even the marginally more recent 4l80E has overdrive and similar strength, there's zero wrong with either trans
either are a darn strong transmission, but if you don't have one already there are several newer and marginally stronger drive train components (transmissions) that MIGHT BE a better option in some applications that add easy software programable programing and over drive gearing
I know I bought a 4l80E for my C4 corvette BBC engine swap project, I probably should have waited and bought a 6L90e
thoughts & ideas related too, modernizing/ improving the older corvettes
if you own a c1-c4 corvette, you know there's dozens of feature's upgraded components or mods or upgrades in the gauges,OPTIONS, drive train and suspension, brakes etc, that more modern corvettes have, that in many cases can be upgraded and used on the older corvettes, if you have some...garage.grumpysperformance.com

as it has two over drive gears and from the factory handles about 700 hp,
