  • Well this project took a turn for the extreme after I found out the new tune with the cam would break the transmission. After some looking online I found a kit to install the 4t80e into the Grand Prix and while Im at it and the trans will be able to handle 600HP why not just turbo it.

    You can bolt the 4t80 in with minor mods to the block, you have to grind off 2 spots on the block and one on the diff of the trans.

    Just call Moroso directly, my buddies work there, they are good people. If you’re gonna turbo it are you going to gap the rings? Also I grabbed a new sharpening stone to clean the deck surface before putting the new head gaskets on

    just out of curiosity the T in 4t65e and 4t80e must stand for transverse while L in 4l65e and 4l80e must stand for longitudinal??? and if that is the case then internally there must be common components used.

    Do you think it’s possible to either 3800 supercharge swap to my 3.5 Chevy impala or should I do the 5.3 swap and is that even possible? Or should I just get a turbo?

    • @snowblind.
      @snowblind. 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The 3500 would be more reliable. Plus, turboing the 60 degree "V" make for lots more torque at the same psi as a factory supercharged 3800.

      @jonathanyoung2082 3 ปีที่แล้ว
