Dadgum folks he even drew ya pictures and broke it all the way down for ya. Listen to learn not to reply. Thanks for the info man I'm in the process of swapping a 72 nova four door with an LS, going with the original 350 tranny that came in it, rebuilt of course, and a 4000 converter. Should be a fun one

Finally someone who pays attention! Lol. Ironically that’s the same combo we started with in Chaos Theory, right down to the th350 that we pulled out of the DR Nova when we swapped it!

Don't let them chase ya away from making he videos man I appreciate everything I've learned from them on my lil journey. I'm putting a 4.8 in mine and my intention for it is to be a street driven, drive it to the track( i57 dragstrip in Benton Illinois) to bracket race it.

@@brandongibson85 Brother when I started this channel years ago it was to help people help themselves. What I’ve come to find out is a lot of people don’t want to help themselves. They want to be spoon fed and your time means nothing to them. People will click on a video that seems to be about what they need to know, never watch one second of the video or skip through missing all the important bits, then ask questions that were already answered in the video. Then when I tell them to watch the video they get pissed like I’ve got time to type out answers for 150,000 people when the answer was already in the video. This video is a perfect example of that if you read through the comments. Are used to reply and let them know the answer was in the video or if the answer is in another one of my videos I would just post a link to that video. But now days for the most part if it’s obvious they didn’t pay attention I just don’t even reply. It’s just a waste of time. My parents always told me “You can’t help those who won’t help themselves.” And if I tried to take the time to re-answer every question that was needlessly asked I wouldn’t have time to do my read job. I’d literally be sitting on my phone 22 hours a day.

@@brandongibson85 Just curious, have seen seen our DRNova project? That car is literally my uncles daily driver. Cruises nice, gets around 22mpg and runs CONSISTENT 7.84s in the 1/8. And when I say consistent I mean the it ran 3 7.84s back to back to back. Lol. I told him we should pull some timing out and get it doing solid 8s or 8.50s and let him bracket race it.

Honestly my recommendation would be to sell it or trade it for a 4L60e. If you’re LS swapping then you’re going to have the means to control a 4L60e. Leaving the 700r4 is going to just create more headaches and still be basically the same transmission without the tuning abilities and advantages the 4L60e have. Meaning you’re basically still going to have the weaknesses of the 700r4/4L60 platform but without the technical advantages that the 4L60e would offer.

Hello so I’m doing a LQ4 swap on a 700r4. The boneyard engine came with the flat flex plate and spacer as one. I drilled out the bolt holes for the torque converter. I engage the starter and it doesn’t reach the ring gear. Any suggestions? I shouldn’t have to take that spacer off on a flat style flywheel?

Sounds like an issue with your starter not kicking the gear out far enough. That could be a bad starter or the starter not receiving enough power or not grounding properly.

Just found your video ... 4 years later. Thinking about an LS swap into a '84 K5 Blazer, one thing you didn't mention is "what torque converter to use"?? I'm just looking at a nice streetable combination, not a street racer just a good driving combination (5.3L with a TH400). Thanks!

I know you covered the older transmission but will it still apply to the 94-98 model 4l60 trans? If so I can use the 4l80 flexplate you have linked correct?

The earlier 4L60e has a 10.75” converter bolt pattern. My advice would be if you’re adamant about using a 4L60, avoid the drama and sell it or swap it for a late model LS style 4L60e with the bolt in bellhousing.

I'm running a TH400 with 4l60 plate. The pads of the torque converter do not touch the flex plate when I push the torque converter all the way towards the engine. I can't put washers because then I don't have my 1/8-3/16 spacing. I noticed the 4l60 plate spacer hits the converter and crank and won't allow the converter to contact the plate. What do I do here? Is that normal. Do I have to take it apart and machine down the spacer?

I got 2 questions, what if you were doing something crazy, like wanting to connect a LS trans to a SBC, ?? Also transfer cases, 4L60 swapped to 4L80, are the transfer cases interchangeable?

I tried it on a 200 4R and the bolt holes for the torque converter did not line up on the 4l80E flexplate. Any suggestions?

@BadLuckGarage 3 жыл бұрын
200r4 uses a 10.5” bolt pattern so you will have to slot the holes as stated in the video.

Thank you!! Now let me ask a question. What flexplate to mount an old school 454 to a modern 4l80e?
@BadLuckGarage

The 4L80 actually came behind 454s in truck applications in the 90s so there’s no guesswork involved. Goto autozone and have them look up a chevy truck with a 7.4/4L80 combo and get your flexplate. 👍🏻

LS 5.3 to a 74 TH350. Will the starter on the LS have any issues fitting into the TH350? Is there a hump on the bell housing for the starter? Any video of the two mated together?

I might have missed it. The 4l80e flex plate you used for this video. Doesn't look like the one from Summit. Where did you get that plate from?

This particular flex plate was an OEM model that came with a 4L80/6.0 combo I bought several years ago. There are many variations from both OEM and aftermarket. But any 4L80 flexplate will work in the same manor as described.
