Today, @lwarrior1016 and I got the 6r80 in the car. The wiring and such will be completed in my spare time over the coming days/weeks.

Few more pics of that Coyote. It lost one of the timing guides. Will check for PTV contact soon.

Couldn’t wait..

This bore had a scratch and is the only concerning item I’ve uncovered.




We will hone it and see what happens. Worst case, it’ll get sleeved.
