2008 5.3/4L60 into 85 Caballero

[Cajun83HO]

The 4L60 was rebuilt with new torque converter. $1350 receipt. The 4.8 has new cam and lifters, oil pump, timing set and cover. Over $550

That's a sweet setup. Why not just put it together?

The 4.8 still has nearly double the power most G-Bodies had stock.

Nearly triple. It's 300 ponies if you do anything to it. Crushes even the highest spec engines available in our cars, not to mention the wheezing turd na v6 cars.

I concur, as I’m the owner of one of said wheezing turds. 😆 Can’t wait to do the engine swap.

Good news - the gasping 3.3 liter rabbit pellet is long gone from mine.

As am I. Weak suck 3.8 in my Malibu wagon has the prerequisite rod knock along with copious amounts of underwhelming nonperformance.

4.8???! Mr F,Have you converted from the “blind” and seen the LightS????😉

As for MY project, as of now I'd rather sell it. I think the price is extremely reasonable for the whole package. You have to come get it though. 70774
$2800

How much if you keep all the LS crap? I just want an Olds roller.
