Garage Journal is an awsome forum. I'm a member on there as well.

I got my Circle D tq converter. Its a 278mm 2A 3200 RPM stall. Basically a very modded stock 4l80e converter I *think*. In any case I was told it was good to 500ish ft-lbs at the wheels with nice daily and towing ability. $550, not bad considering many other are in the $1200 range.

Oh, the 4l80e has a higher 1st than the 4l60e so the high flash stall is welcome!!!!

Custom driveshaft done. Shortened by 1&11/16 inches to fit the 4l80e. I'm getting close to all the needed parts.

Added a drain to the trans pan.

I'm working on the 4l80e valve body mods now. Inching closer.

I've racked up some miles in the process.

Trans done. Soon to swap in.

Very cool man! Did you rebuild it yourself or have a shop do it?
