Not on Fred's car.

 

I already know that. I was referring to 2cub49's post.

 

Yes I've got one on a 460LE.
Here's some pics. I started with a Jegs short torque arm but it was too noisy for me so I modded my stock mount and arm and bolted it to the Jegs floor plate. She ain't pretty but is as quiet as stock and stiffer.

Thanks, you made my day! This is just what I need to be able to drive mine on a daily basis.

Can you fill me in on what you did for the driveshaft?

 

I shortened the stock one.
An aluminum one won't work because of the dampener on the snout end.

 

The GV comes with it's own special snout

 

Thanks for the insight. This is gonna be fun. I can't wait to have a decent cruising rpm again.

 

If you do a GV with the 4l60e adapter, put the adapter upside down (it will fit) so the speed sensor unit doesn't hit the tunnel and cause fit problems.
With the adaptor upside down the speed sensor unit will be on the bottom.
You need more pinion height using a couple of spacers on the trans mount or you'll get console vibration.
Also if you have or are going to put in longtubes, you'll have to have a custom ypipe made to go around the GV unit.
Short torque arms you can use are Spohn,
BMR Trackpac,
Jegs,

or you could mod the stock arm and mount like I did.
You don't need the electronic controls as manual mode is the best. The 43 mph shift is a bit hard especially under throttle and it interferes with the gear you're in.

 

Sorry about that.

 

as far as racing does the GV make the 4l60E stronger? ive never had any luck with them...or would i just be better off swapping to a t350 or t400?

 

It doesn't change the strength of the transmission, it merely gives you an extra overdrive gear for cruising.
