Trilogized by RC_Signals!
I would love to hear from either one of you on the 6R80 swap. Rafael, I have a sister car to yours.
My original trans with a JMod is long overdue to go south, it's a Trilogy car that still has the original trans that is starting to slip in the higher gear at WOT.
Also sending it in the shop for more boost via upgrading the pulley, currently running 11psi with stock Trilogy pulleys and ported/polished Eaton and lots of other intake flow mods.
Want/Need to find out if I just rebuild the 4R75w that's there, or do this swap!
Sister car?
I've been waiting on the shop that supplies the drive shaft spacers to get them back in stock. That and the driveshaft are my last two items to finish getting for the swap.
I have the engine/ trans mounted in the car just waiting on finishing my fuel system and some other little stuff. Once everything's together I'll post some pictures.

I was looking into this swap in California, You can not use a F150 donor engine, But you can use a Mustang Engine.
Engine Classification - Vehicle and engine classifications of the donor and recipient vehicles must be the same based on Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Classification examples include passenger car, light-duty truck (LDT1, LDT2), light-heavy-duty truck (LHD1, LHD2), medium-duty vehicle (MDV), etc. For example, a heavy-duty truck engine may not be installed in a light-duty truck even if they have the same displacement. Non-emissions controlled engines, such as industrial and off-road-use-only engines, and non-certified “crate engines”, MAY NOT be installed in any emission- controlled vehicle. It doesn't specify transmission.

California just sucks SO Bad....
I can't imagine being a car enthusiast and living in 'La La' Land.
Plus Nancy, goofy 81 year old, Pelosi would be my Representative in DC.....yeeeesh!
BTW: I'm friggin' TIRED of EVERYTHING having a California Prop 65 Warning tag on it!
What an incredible waste of money!!
:mad2:
Sorry for the thread HiJack......carry on.

Bringing this thread back alive. I took a long break from the car as I have some other things going on in life that take priority (aka a 4yr old) I'm 95% finished with the swap. Waiting on trans cooler line adapters so I can finish plumbing the trans cooler up. I have all the wiring done and reading correctly with the tach adapter.
I'm waiting on a few small parts but hopefully I can get this car moving under its own power again. Once I have it dialed in I'm more than likely going to build a plug and play harness for the whole setup to make it easier for anyone to do along with a printable handbook to speed up the process.
Might take some time however I'll probably make it happen quicker once I have some true road results documented on my end. I know for certain the 4.10 gears on my car will have to go back to 3.55s down the line. Cams +Whipple have to be fine tuned still after all said and done as I've added a ton of supporting mods to the car over the last year.
Really hoping to have it where I want by spring for a carshow or two!

Update!
I’ve got the car running/ driving/ and somewhat tuned (have to install a meth kit to help with IAT temps)
few key notes:
4.10 gears really suck on these especially at highway speeds. Builds up a lot of heat with the cam/ 2.3 whipple combo I have going on.
wiring to make the tach work correctly was a bit tricky but finally found the correct way to make it read off the stock harness (you’ll get 1000 different answers to this question) I had to do a lot of trial and error to find it and make it work.
I’m currently reworking the shifter cable setup. I’ve got it working decent but the orientation is backwards. P= drive and D= Park hahaha
other than that around town it really likes to move around traffic easy. Hates long highway hauls that’s for sure (I’m gonna step it down to 3.55s)
all in all it’s been a very fun and challenging swap. I’ll post a few videos updating on YouTube one of these days after Marty and i finish up the tune, and link it.
