*I made a mistake doing one thing on the machine work, on the rear planet ring gear hub, we should have left some of the center what we cut as factory height, there's a snap ring that sits there on the output shaft and keeps proper end play, so we had to cut a stator spacer from a 4L60e down a little and open up the ID a little to take up the slack, hope that made sense. You can see it in Frank...

Are you the guy who owned Cameron Torque Converter? And if so do you still have the th400 dump valve systems for sale?
@@ls87gbody I'm not him. They're in South Carolina. I've done some business with them recently, give them a call and ask would be my suggestion.
@@cameron878 ok thank you for the info
So effectively same as manual 3rd where direct drum is engaged also?!.
Awesome thank you
If the idea of dual feeding the clutch pack is to add more surface area on the piston to be pressurized doesn't drilling a hole in the chamber that is being pressurized bleed off the pressure?
The bleed hole is a negligible pressure loss
This is the real Interceptor
The problem with the GM 8L90E transmission is not the Torque Converter or even the Fluid, believe it or NOT. For one, the transmission runs too hot for starters. The transmission thermostat bypass opens up about 194F degrees. Too damn HOT. The AFM System is what’s destroying these Torque Converters in my humble opinion respectfully. When the engine transitions back and forth from 8 to 4 & 4 to 8 cylinders, it significantly increases the TCC Desired Slip Rpm. I suspect GM engineers doing this to reduce vibration through the drivetrain for driver comfort at the expense of the Torque Converter it self. If the programming does not increase the TCC Desired Slip RPM during AFM, the customer would experience noticeable vibration every time the AFM engages. This act drastically wears out the Clutch lining inside the Torque Converter apply piston. The key to solving this issue if your transmission is not to far gone believe it or NOT is in the valve body and turning off AFM. The transmission valve body control the ENTIRE function of the transmission, to include the Torque Converter. There are 3 shift kits on the market that will absolutely eradicate this issue, if the transmission is still in good shape and not too far gone. These companies are SONNAX & TRANS GO I have personally myself installed and 😂combined 2 kits with a SONNAX TCC Kit and Shift Kit at 30,000 miles. I have 85,000 right now. Solved all my issues. Always remember that the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, TCC Pressure Regulator Valve and Pressure Regulator Spring is what controls the Torque Converter mechanically and electronically thru PCM to TCM commands thru CAN BUS…. communications.
I agree almost 100%. I know the dod tcc slip target rpm is double relative to when it's in v8, and I also agree with you on your theory why they do it. Unfortunately on this 2019, i'd have to take the ECU and TCM out and shipped to HP tuners for the unlocking service, which the used car lot did not want to do. Everything 15-18 (with an 8 speed) gets dod turned off at a minimum. I've experienced what a worn VB feels like/acts like and we've done the same thing, mixed a couple of those two brand's kits to alleviate some problems. I don't believe they all need the valve body repair kits, we've gotta away with converter and fluid with a lot of them.
I agree with you 1000% The only thing I would add. I think we can both agree that the Transmission Tuning in HP Tuners would help tremendously. Especially when you bump the shift pressures, TCC apply pressure and going into the TCC Desired Slip RPM tables and reduce the TCC Slip Values since DOD/AFM we would want turned off. Myself personally went with a Circle D Torque Converter and it’s been great. Love your work by the way. You are very talented my friend.
Also, consider as it pertains to the valve body, not only is it worn out, but the plastic check balls shrink from the transmission fluid heat causing massive cross leaks with the valve body. I went with SONNAX Anodized check balls as an upgraded when I did my valve body job.
@@HewigIsidore we used to target 0 in those tcc slip tables and up the regulator apply like 10%, and it seemed to be causing us issues. It would lock up TOO crisp and sometimes under load (lower rpm or going up a hill), it would chatter a little. Similar to what a bad windshield wiper across the windshield acts like. That was with putting a tube of the shutter fix in every transmission preemptively. So basically all we do is get rid of lockup in the earlier gears (1-3 normal and just 1-2 in tow haul) and delay the 5-6 shift (in a 6L80e) and 7-8 shift (if it's an 8L90), because factory it stuffs it into high gear way too soon in our opinion. 51mph seems happiest.
On my 8L90, we got rid of lock-up on 1st thru 5 gear and reduced TCC Desired Slip in those table from 10 rpm slip to half that (5 rpm slip) among other tricks here and there help. The Circle D Converter made the biggest difference along with going with an Amsoil Signature Series ATF and getting rid of the thermostatic bypass valve for the transmission. My Transmission temp are now around 155F to 165F at operating temp compared to 200F to 215F.
I enjoyed the video. I do have a question. With the Ultra bell, how do you insure that the centerline of the crankshaft and input shaft are in alignment? I seem to remember offset dowel pins back in the day.
The 8 pump bolts are shouldered and I believe that's all that aligns it. I'm sure there's a way to check it, I never have and have never had an associated problem. That doesn't mean I'm right though. Lol
Also, thank you for watching and the positive comment
Sierra looks so nice compared to the other trucks.
now is the manual shifting causing the TCM to adapt or is it getting air out of the system or both?
I don't believe there to be any reason there's a large amount of air introduced to the system based on what we did, but I never thought about that, very good question.
lgtbq fluid
yes, yes yes

My 18’ 8 speed has a cold chatter. Goes away when warmed up. You think it’s time to a torque converter change? It just hit 100k miles. Other than that shifts good.
Possibly.
my 18 with a 6.2 needed a new torque converter at 61k, still under warranty, first gear coming out of the driveway in the morning just went completely limp, and then slammed hard. Love these trucks but these 8 speeds need some babysitting, damn shame. dreading the next hiccup lol, probably gonna be a valve body.
@@nwrhaner yikes. Any codes?
@@cameron878 not a one lol
Nice
Would a 4L80 manual valve fit a th400 and which side does the cable go to on the carburetor?
Congratulations on the PBs! I’d be really interested in seeing more about the 16 injector setup.
How did you come about using the Crown Vic body, did you purposely build it or was it just because you had it and started playing with it ? Just curious. I enjoyed your video. At my track, State Capitol Raceway in Louisiana, the ET boards are at the 1/4 mile so you can see your time and MPH if you are running 1/8 mile. We run 1/8 mile on everything but the street legal trophy class.
You're basically exactly right. I always wanted a Vic, bought it in 2006, then discovered hot rodding a few years later. The rest is history.
Quietly fastest the world and drive home will be the coolest thing ever, lol.
There's a guy in Ohio that's been a little faster, hopefully that changes next time out!
Would this count for a 6l90 also ?
Yes
Hell yeah!!
Congrats on the PB nothing was rolling. What’s the trans set up again?
It's got a 4L80e (with Jake's d3 brake) and circle d bolt together 252mm triple disk.
Very nice!
Congratulations ‼️ great night for sure , and then make the long minute drive home, lol
Congrats on the PB's Waaaayyy more left in it.... #TeamBabysoft

Ohh hellllll yeah
Good work. When did you run out of injector on single 210s? Last Sloppy Pod cast I remember you and Devin saying a single set of 210 at a high base pressure was going to be enough for your setup.
Right around the 5.80-5.90/ lower 120s mark. Probably like 1050-1100 wheel maybe?
@cameron878 that's good info to know, I was thinking of doing a something similar. Might be easier to stay e85
@@cameron878what base pressure and pumps are you running?
@@RedsProjects I'll probably go back to a2a/e85 in the future, the car will fit some heavyweight classes then and I won't have to deal with putting a belt on, switching tunes, 16 injectors, etc

"And spit the guts out of it trying to catch this guy with a van motor?" 😂😂😂😂 this was magnificent. Always has been. Lol.
Would be nice to hear all details
It's basically all in the video
I thought it was a terminator Cobra motor. That would make sense since Crown Vic's came with modular 4.6's
What about going back to neutral and then shutting off if you have a valve body that has to use the brake button for reverse in neutral.
The only time you should ever put it in neutral is if the valve body is a true clean neutral valve body. If it says "recommended" or "must" use an aluminum direct drum, it's probably not a true clean neutral valve body. Also, it's never recommended to shut the engine off after a pass.
What do u have it sitting on?
The overrun drum
whats the ball park cost for the parts used for this build??
3k-35 just for parts
Price To Build ?
This was a build for a good friend, I've never priced one out for a retail job, he had some of these parts already so that offset the cost greatly. This is probably a $4500-$5000 build if I were to do one in the future though.
Nice work. Love the attention to detail.
I sent my fairbanks turbo 400 to a friend to rebuild and when he tore it down the case was no good they have those raised parts in it i dont know if it where the drume sits but he told me it happens alot from down shifting it so much so he was looking for a case for mè and i was also looking for one i called a friend he saidhe had one that was in a blower car he bought but it was converted to a 2 speed he gave it to me he said it was pulled out the car because 1st gear was t0 aggressive for driving it on the street so i guess thats why it also dont have a transbrake or a manual valve body . I never used it yet my buddy found me a good case and built a 400 for mè with s manual valve body with a reverse pattern im sorry now i never had him sèt it up with a trans brake once i get my 421 built im going to put it behind that and see if i like it. Great video

Love the video . I wish you did more th400 and powerglide videos in depth like this. Please do a 3 speed th400 or powerglide, 1200-1500hp buildup. Subbed and following.

Can you tell me about the vacuum line going to the modulator valve? Does the hard metal line have a check valve in it ? Can I run a line from the modulator valve to the manifold vacuum on carb?
where can i find the cam you had years ago with the chop??
Not sure if they're still around, I bought them used, but they were from a company called hitech, they were the hitech stage 2 cams.
