Just as an introduction, my name is Colt and i'm from Jonesboro, AR. I'm new to this forum, but not new to forums in general. I have done a fair amount of searching on this forum as well as google, and cant really find straightforward answer to some questions i have regarding a 6.0/4l80e swap.
I like to do my homework and plan out as many things as i can ahead of time.
Heres a couple of my questions.....
1. Will the 6.0/4l80e bolt up to the OE t-case? (i believe its a np243)
2. Can it all be installed without having to shorten the driveshafts?
3. i understand that the 4l80e is a little longer than a 4l60e, but could this length difference be compensated for when making motor mount adapters without sacrificing a large amount of weight distribution difference?
4. i can have custom a/c lines made locally, but from what i have seen, no one uses the OE compressor from the 6.0, why is this?
any input here would be greatly appreciated
this swap is being done on as tight of budget as possible, so please try and keep that in mind. I plan on spending a full day at a u-pull-it and getting as many parts as possible there. motor & motor mounts, trans, ecu, complete wiring harness, and drive accessories are a given
