eliyalily

Considering switching to an 8L90 transmission for your vintage vehicle or performance build? Because of its high torque capacity and small, light design, the GM 8L90 is a popular option for LS and LT engine conversions. Advanced shift logic, improved fuel efficiency, and quicker acceleration are all achieved by switching this contemporary 8-speed to an older configuration.

Make sure the driveshaft length, crossmember configuration, and ECU are compatible before swapping out your 8L90 transmission. To fully utilize this transmission's capability, you must pair it with an appropriate controller and torque converter. Whether used for street driving or drag racing, the 8L90 combines classic muscle with contemporary performance.
