6R80 swap

[Michael Plackis]

Yeah that’s right and if using an F150 trans you need a bracket from BCA racing and they also carry a bracket to allow the use of a 4R70W shifter from a 99-04 Auto for ease of install and stock look

And from my research I’d suggest the USSHIFT standalone

That’s for the 4R70W bracket. If you have any questions shoot me a pm. I’ve figured out most of the stuff for the swap by this point. I’ll probably make a thread as it’s happening with details about what’s needed when I get closer to completing it

I will. I,just found there site. They sell built 6 speeds. I might get everything from them. 1200rwhp rated. This swap is going to kick ass

 

[Michael Plackis]

Yeah I was thinking about getting it from them but $4000+ is crazy. You can get an F150 trans and put exedy clutches and a billet intermediate for less and it’s just as strong. Stock they’re pretty strong. People are running low 9’s with just a converter

What rear end gears would be optimal for this swap?

 

[Michael Plackis]

I was looking at 3.08’s. Fist gear is really steep on the 6R80 so the tires would light up in first and second with anything above that. I wanted 2.73’s but couldn’t find any high quality ones. If you guys know anywhere to find some Ford Racing or better quality than stock 2.73 gears that’d be the best I think

This is what I found with 3.08 rear gears

For those interested in the swap you can go on the USSHIFT website and download their program(windows only) and play around to see all the adjustments and get a feel for the program. Would also recommend downloading/printing the instructions and reading a few times before anything if you’re installing yourself especially. Might tackle it over the winter with a friend. Seems relatively straight forward for the install and tuning being that everything should just bolt right up. The only thing that I can’t comment on working perfectly is the linkage. I’ve yet to find a surefire set up for that. I️ think the BCA bracket will make everything work fine but haven’t been able to contact them for confirmation

I have to go to mustang magic and talk to Joey to see if he will do this swap. I honestly have no time as I run one of the largest Mack dealerships in the north east.

IMO the 6r swapped cobras will run accelerate better than the 4R.

I'm also a ford dealer so I want to see what I can get the transmission for. Just won't be built.

If they can’t and you need Steve’s number for his shop let me know

My 2.9 whipple which I run 23 lbs and this swap, the car will be a monster. Later on do a crusher kit and upgrade to the gen 3.

Mike shoot me a pm with steves number. I know he's next to Enzo, the tuner. I haven't seen Steve since he left mm. He's a top notch mechanic.

The third precents going to hate me again.

 

[stangfreak]

Thanks bro. I'll call him if Joey can't. It's easier at mustang magic bc the cars there and Joey can tune it on the spot.
