Holy cow, thats like David and Goliath in comparison.
Use an aluminum cradle and you could make up a lot of that weight gain.

trust me ya'll will know when the swap is ready...though its not a bolt in deal and requires significant reworking it's deffinatly worth it in my eyeOriginally Posted by UR LOSN
it took us a while but we found a good GM reman 4t80e outta a burn victim in the Jyard...paid 150$ and i'm damn sure that it'll hold up to the same power as a 5k 65eHD even though it requires solid 4 corner mounts (yes we're putting motor plates on a FWD drivetrain lol) and other reworking
which do you think a redneck would go fer?
get a 4t80e forum up and i'll show you alot more david vs goliath pics of the internal parts.
by ditching the 4th gear and a couple other things reworked in the dragwhore we're looking at a 3 spd 4t80e weighing the same if not less than the 65eHD.

Just curious as to why it would take a couple people to lift it into the trunk?
I don't know the specific answer, but I do know from experience that a TH350 will fit in the trunk of a 87 Olds Delta (FWD). A 440-T4 will fit in the trunk of an 93 Buick Lesabre. And a 440-T4 will also fit in the trunk of an 87 Riviera. These I have done. And lifted myself every time. Trans are not that heavy if the fluid is out of them and the convertor is off. Even if it is not, one guy should be more than able to lift it in.

in many ways it's better on your back, less likely to drop/break the trans or otherwise damage the trunk opening
i was a "badass" when i was younger, now at 27 i'm regretting some of the stupid **** i've done by myself. i hope that i'd keep at least one person from being as stupid as I

I can understand that, as I have learned from many thing I did in my younger years. But I am only 25, and maybe still ignorant. But I find it easier to just do things like this myself rather than bother someone else to drive 20 minutes to my house to help me.... I guess I just don't want to bother them.
