Overdrive Options

Cut out the torsion bar crossmember entirely, get a Hemi Denny front end, sawzall the floor and put a 4l80e in it.....at least that is what I will be doing some year.......About the 6l80e....I have yet to see a stand alone controller for it. Did some reading on one of the LS forums and this http://www.mastmotorsports.com/2010/news-view.php?id=38 was the only controller that anyone has found. While I did not read everything someone said it is NOT a stand alone controller, that the only way it will work is with an LS for a power plant. I don't remember seeing a bellhousing/adapter for it in the Lakewood/QuickTime book. Would like to see some info that contradicts this....4.027 2.364 1.532 1.152 0.852 0.667....other than the stump pulling low gear I don't see that big of a deal with its ratios. 4th is not a 1:1, fifth is shorter than the 80's od ratio of .75 and the 60's final gear is not going ot save you that much rpm over the 80's. Just plugged some numbers into an online calculator, 4.1 rear gear, 27" tire, 65 mph. The 80's rpm will be 2487, the 60's will be 2212......can't see that even being worth talking about.......given the fact that the 60 you will be in some what uncharted territory.....
