Default 4L80E swap expensive?

Just wondering How big of an expense it is to swap a 4l80 in. Not sure how much I Could sell my built t56/spec 3+ for? I'm roughly 430-440rwhp. Would the 4l80 even need built? Just tossing the idea around

You did said 4l80e correct. you know the body will have to be cut on to put that in. But the 4l80e set up and all the work going into it 15,k for sure. Now the Level V 4l70 or 60e from rpm with a good conv like 3200 stall about 8,k plus then get your $$ on your stuff back... This crap is not cheap at all to play like some us do... Robert

i guess i just meant an a4 swap. didnt realize the 4l80e was that much bigger. so i guess a built 4l65e would work for me.
