    All too common LS swap vs unique old school small block

    The Gen6 is 410 Ft-lb of toque and 290 Hp in stock form but the toque starts at 1800 rpm.

    95 4L80e from a Diesel truck, anyone know what has to be changed other that the torque converter to go behind a gas engine?

    TH400 Needs Overdrive... 4L80E swap? Bolt on OD?

    My 1995 GMC K3500 TBI 454, 4L80e with 4:10’s gets maybe 13-14 mpg at 55 mph it get around 10ish mpg at 70 mph. Your not going to get good mileage on a 7,600 lb truck.

    Volvo Penta intake 454 gen6 build

    This is Kind of a parts bash of a built, the coil on plug valve covers are from the L21, oil pump drive is from a 4.3L V6 the intake and fuel rail is Volvo Penta for the long runner BBC intake that no one makes. finding what works is the thrill of this build
