Definitely give heavy consideration into what it may cost to outfit your situation with an 80e trans at the least... Just my 2 cents... I had the trans out of my 04 bi-monthly... Granted I was blown with cam and heads, but still, even minor upgrades, or a healthy cam on a 6.0 LQ4/LQ9, will destroy the 60/65/70 trans with ease... I threw every single absolute super hi po part and trick at my 65e and it still spit parts back at me...
