I actually didn't know the details until a few minutes ago either. I just knew there was a difference because I saw it mentioned while I was researching my 80E swap a few days ago. Google to the rescue again!

The reason I was asking about the stock computer wiring harness is because I have a u pull it down the road and they have half off and $80 all you can carry sales. Next month is the all you can carry sale. I can carry a tranny and wrap the harness and ecm around my shoulders and walk out with only spending $80 for tranny and ecm. I will have to carry it 50ft successfully. I got this

Good luck. The 80 is a heavy pig. About 200 lbs. And awkward. What state is that yard in?

Good luck is right! I just lugged an 80E about two feet into my dad's truck bed off of a forklift, and that was about as far as I wanted to move it.

Just out of curiosity I Googled the weight of a 4L80E, 178lbs. It felt like every bit of that and then some.

Weight of fluid maybe. Plus it's an awkward shape. Making it pretty much impossible to bear hug. So you have to curl it the entire time.

I'm a big guy in good shape. And holding 200 lbs in a curl position is a pain.

I can cheat and use straps made of the seat belts in the yard, they allow you to use anything you can find in the yard other than the carts so I can carry alot of weight on my shoulders and use my legs not my arms.

ditch the converter, prolly drop 50lbs.

Good to see another SS guy here

I'd say try to get the 94-95 pcm, harness, and trans. I've come to realize how much better those pcms are over the early ones. Gonna need a custom chip though.
