Yep, did a 4L80 swap into a 64 Suburban for a customer. VERY expensive
controller and mulitiple peripheral hook ups (telemmetry) needed. But then
again its the only bulletproof overdrive I know of (other than the allison)
that bolts to the std GM bellhsg.pattern.

Sure, but the "E" is for electronic, so you have to have a computer
controlling it. Now, I'm no expert, but my understanding is that you'd
probably have to go the hard way and get one from a junked GM truck and
graft it in (running on 12V), or get the controller from a newer HMMWV, I
guess. Then, bypass the governor somehow to get over 73??? Or is that an RPM
governed speed?

Has anyone on the list done a swap like this?? Sounds pretty cool.
