Seeking Trans Builder for 4L60E

Dan,

I'm sure you've done this but have you posted on the Impala forum as well? I know there are some pretty fast cars still running the 4L60E that haven't switched to a TH400 yet. Being that your car is "slightly" heavier than most that offers some unique challenges in a transmission.

Sad to hear that Shane is out of business. He did one for me as well once upon a time.

YEAH...contacted several companies. Disappointed with ATI.
$1750 seems to be the competitive price for a Stage II Build (450hp)
One companies is at $2200 for a Stage III build (550hp).

Shane got a bad rap on a few mistakes. He did me right and many others.
May go back to Fourcade Trans since they are more local in Gaithersburg.

Love the 4L60E for my plus sized heavy car....
Basically a 3.08 low gear T350 with OD and with electronics.
Have been on ImpalaSSforum and did not find any new information.

BTW added a new 1995 C/PS Firebird to the Pure Stock Pictures.

Very cool Firebird Dan! Great addition to the gallery. That looks exactly like one I built about 7 years ago when I lived in Morehead City, NC and then sold to Al Brister before I ran it. I don't believe that he ran it either. I don't know where it ended up but wonder if it is the same car. ??? That's a great body style (especially with the WS6 hood) and I still have a fondness for the wonderful LT1.

Not to hijack your transmission thread but speaking of the Pure Stock gallery do you mind changing my photo? I sold the black/silver wheels (hated them!) and have added Bogarts. Maybe you could use on of the driveway pictures in the gallery? I would appreciate it. If you can't use one of these I'll email them to you. I've since removed all of the decals as I believe IHRA is going to want them down on the side and there are only about 5 that pay contigency so those are the only ones I'll put back on before we class race.









On the way to the dyno ... stopped for lunch.



How I spent the majority of my summer break 2013 ... on my back in the garage!



Thanks Dan and keep us up to date on the transmission.

Maria would call it Car Sex .. Car on TOP


Scott:
New pictures are loaded. Kept the others.

Yep, that's about it. I'm rarely on top!

Thanks Dan.

There is no such thing as a cheap 4L60E. For me, $2800 is about the going price to build one that will hold real power. Starting with a good solid core with no real damage.

Dan, call Wayne as Dave stated earlier in the thread. He will do you right and is close. Known him for close to 20 years and he's one hell of a trans guy and racer.
