The input shaft on the tranny broke, I believe.

Yeah input shaft broke. Replaced that with a hardened one then the clutch disc's went bare and the material trashed up the valve body. So now it sits while I work on a replacement.Comment

284 swap?Current:
\'87 Fiero GT: 12.86@106 - too dam many valves; ran 12.94 @ 112 on new engine, then broke a CV joint
\'88 Fiero Formula: slow and attention getting; LZ8 followed by LLT power forthcoming
\'88 BMW 325iX: The penultimate driving machine awaiting a heart transplant
Gone, mostly forgotten:
\'90 Pontiac 6000 SE AWD: slow but invisibleComment

There's a guy running 10s in a cavalier with a built 4t65E. Might be worth looking in to.'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11

+1 for the 284 swap... lmaoComment

I know the 65E can be built to handle the power, right now I have less then 500 into the 80E with a high stall converter, 3.71 gearing, and updated valve body. So I'm still way under the 2k price of a built trans.Originally posted by caffeine View PostComment

I think I've read somewhere that the 80 isn't easily controlled. Do you already have a trans controller figured out?'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11

from a control standpoint, it has the exact number and type of sensors as a 4T65.... i would say that if there are any control problems, they either aren't 4T80 specific or base calibrations aren't anywhere where they need to be.Comment

hi BearBear; is there a link where I can see what you've done? Just picked up a crate LZ9 to put into my 308/fiero project.... Interested in doing 'something' extra but it will depend on long term reliability rather than total (ie momentary) power output.
Likely will pair it with a G6 6 spd manual.
thx

I'm thinking about putting a 3.9 and t5 in my miata. I tune my lsx stuff with hptuners. I want to go NA.
From what I gather 3.9 + 3.5 intake ported + cam + non phasing timing set/springs should have me somewhat close to 275+hp? A 3.9 bolts to a t5 correct?Comment

Sounds about right and yes it will bolt to a T5'89 Firebird, 3500 Turbo, T56, 9-bolt/4.11
