    For all interested I will be hitting the track tomorrow for my last runs NA.

    I will provide corrected times for runs tomorrow, as well as corrected times for my previous runs with the 4r70w.

    Place your bets!

    I have no idea but am excited to hear how it does! Good luck.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    Had some issues, then work and life got in the way. Right now I am swapping an eaton onto it.

    The car may be for sale in the future.

    I am DEFINITELY following this! Would be a great addition to an already awesome Eaton swapped Isabelle.

    A have a few questions:

    1) Why the -8AN fittings? Can you not just use the stock trans cooling system? I already have an aftermarket cooler installed to deal with increased heat from the Eaton swap. Will that be enough for the 6R80. Does the 6R80 generate any more heat than the 4R75?

    2) How did you know how much to notch out of the crossmember? Your fab/welding work looks outstanding but I'm worried Id do the same and will have not notched it enough.

    3) Is the MM crossmember same as CV and/or GM? I'm thinking junkyard crossmember and fab ahead of time.

    4) Does anyone know the ratios for gears 1-4 on the 4R75 and 1-6 on the 6R80? I know I can look these up but if someone has them quickly on hand, I would appreciate the info. Reason I'm asking is even with the Eaton swap, I still wish the car had a little more low end grunt below 3500rpm. Right now 4:10's seem to be the solution (or more boost but that's a different animal) but Id still like to keep the highway drivability.

    5) What torque converter? Kind of a loaded question right now since its application based and I need to learn my flexplate patterns, stall RPM stuff, etc before I start asking really difficult questions.

    P.S. I get that life gets in the way, I STILL need to work with the Great Marty-O to finish my Eaton swap tune. Now that I have a shop to work on the car in the winter, hopefully things will go faster.

    Edit: One more question:

    6) The Quick 6 controller looks like an excellent solution but are there other controllers out there? $1250 is a pretty tall penny but on the other hand you do get what you pay for.

    You can't use a stock cooling system. The 6r80 requires a 1/2 inch or 8an line size. REQUIRED.

    I eyeballed the crossmember based off of the silver bullet project pictures, then adjusted as necessary.

    Yes the crown vic is the same crossmember. That's what I did.

    U can easily search the 6r80 gear ratios. It's super nice to drive.

    I used the complete 2012 f150, and in my opinion I would never use the f150 converter again. It is entirely too tight, I would aim for a 2015-2017 mustang converter. I'm hoping the supercharger mitigates that though with 150ish ft lbs more on tap.


    Here are a couple progress pics as I slowly get it together.

    Thank you. I'm not trying to be a world beater with it or anything, I just want it to be the fun car I think it should have been from the factory. Trying to keep the boost around 8 psi or so with my flat top pistons.

    What is your pinion angle compared to stock? These cars with their long driveshafts will not tolerate much change at all in angles when you approach triple digits unless changes are made to the rear angle or adding a constant velocity joint at one end of the shaft.

    My angle was off by ONE degree or less and smooth as silk until I hit 85/90 and with zero warning I’d warp the steel driveshaft I originally went with. The CV Aluminum replacement is so smooth that they allow for up to 8 degrees off in pinion angles.

    Just wondering if the stuff listed on the first post still stands for the 6r80 and if anything was needed additionally that might not be listed through the thread.

    Yeah, NA. I can once the eaton swap is done. My goal is to have it running and dyno ready in a couple weeks.
