C4 to AOD/E. Benefits?

[Dwayne]

And I found this: http://www.silverfoxtrans.com/valveBodies.html#vbsptr
A valve body for an AOD with an electric lock out.

I think Dan's backed up a fair bit at the moment, so a valve body could take months to be built. That said, I'm looking at ordering one from him so happy to combine shipping with you if you go that way.

Yeah I called this morning and his voice said if you are a new customer send an email.
If I go with him I was going to get a pal in the US to post it to me which may reduce the costs. Can send one to you as well if it works.

I also have lots of friends over there if needed, as I went to college in MD.

Ask them if they can fill a pallet of 4R70W boxes for me at $350 each

[Dwayne]

Dan said he's not promising anyone will get their before 1 January 2021.

crap. Whats plan B?
I have just found a rebuildable AOD box...

[Dwayne]

There's also Lentech n Canada.

A guy on facebook just had a 1500hp 4r75w flown down here. Cost was CDN4,000 landed.

Yeah Lentech are known as one of the best as well.
Not sure if they have the OD lockout etc... I guess they would have.

[Dwayne]

Yes, the Street terminator VB has electric O/D delete. I'm assuming I'd go for Calibration 3 with your old box Hybrid?

Prices are in Canadian, so CDN595 is around AUD622(plus freight).

Depends what your combo is going to be Dwayne.
You can keep the lockup with the right converter, but I don't like the way the 3 and 4 shifts feel. The best thing to compare it to is like a manual gearbox where you just step off the clutch to change gears. Especially when you have a higher stall lockup setup, the difference will be most pronounced.
Imagine you have a high stall converter slipping a bit during light throttle. You'd have nice smooth 1-2 shift, then a massively different whack into 3rd and 4th where there is no slip at all (unless the clutches/OD band slip which you don't want).

If your setup is mild, you could do 2N/L or 3 depending on your stall.

[Dwayne]

I'll be running your Hughes non-lockup converter (pro-street 30 series), 2,000 stall on standard driving but flashes to 3,000 on heavy throttle.

[hybrid]

Ahhh yes I forgot that I had the non-lockup even before I went to one piece input shaft.
Yes I'd say the 3 is the one to go for.
