4l80 in a c4?
I am contimplating trying to put a built 4l80 in my 92. There are a couple obstacles I will have to overcome. The first being able to control it electronically. They sell stand alone computers for about 800 bucks. The next thing I'm concerned about is overall length and my driveshaft. is the 4l80 the same length as a zf6? Also what would I do to make the c-beam work with it?
has any of u guys tried this? Have any input?

It was done on a TH700 C4, maybe that helps a bit ... http://www.joby.se/corvette/mods/2004-12-26_4l80/

Any particular reason you want a 4L80? The auto trans used in the '92 can be built up to handle lots of power and you won't have to worry about how to get the 4L80 into the car and control it.
The link shows that there would be a whole lot of modifications needed to make it work. Certainly looks doable but IMHO, the question would be the time and money involved and making sure that the mods are done right.

Scroll to the bottom of the page. It says no longer manufactured but maybe some other outfit might have the same.
