There was a guy on the forums who did a budget 6.0/4L80E swap and said the 80E fit better than a 60 in the E36 tunnel. Still took some massaging on the fender and he had to change the shift linkage to make it narrowerOriginally Posted by tptrsn

A 4l60 has a big servo sticking out the side so yes a 4l80e should fit better. A 4l80 is almost identical in size to a th400 just longer and we know a th400 fits without drama.

If it is computer controlled will it work without a motor that uses a compatible ECU?

The most satisfying feeling on this entire planet is pulling a ratchet shifter on an auto.
The 80e will be much harder to fit then a 400
you can control the 80e with a micro quiet independent of the engine or tied into the engine ecu if it's a ms3

I think a Microsquirt setup going for around $350 with a harness these days if you wanted to run one as a trans controller independent of the ECU, not bad. MS2 could probably be done even cheaper than Micro I think.
Alternatively, I think I've read somewhere that there are full manual valvebody kits for 80s...

why would a 80 be harder to fit than a 400? They are pretty much the same in all the side to side dimensions, just longer.

Grinded the shit out of my caliper and got the 15 " wheel to fit on the drivers side. Now just gotta do the pass side.

Would you like pics of anything else rocketing into my mouth?

Holy shit yall . I think I might have found the issue :0
The flange that connects my drives haft to trans is totally mangled. Half inch steel flange is twisted like a freaking pretzel.

It's hard to tell for sure from the pics, are all three ears twisted the same, as if it was just from pure torque action?

I sheared all the bolts off drag racing with my M20 and the flange looked like that.

All three ears are twisted. Yes.
Oh well ..

could be worse, when I sheared the bolts it broke the alignment pit off the output shaft and the flailing driveshaft ripped a 4" gash in the trans tunnel.

Damn! Yeah I'm lucky then. Especially considering how long I was driving it like this. A few hundred miles at least.
Well next time it's on the road it'll be with a DSS ds, 210mm diff, and 15" hoosiers!

My driveshaft did that but with more twist and with cracks. I feel fortunate that it held together long enough for me to find the damage. Wheel hop sucks.

Yeah well I'm hoping that once I get some 15" Hoosiers on the rear I won't be hopping. My entire rear end is solid mounted, everything is new.
I was really pussyfooting off the line too. I never launched it at the track. I'm sure if I had this would have been much worse lol.

My car never hopped with the hoosiers.
