What direction should I go?

I'm dropping in a 6.0 LQ4 LS V8, with around 400hp into my 94 caprice wagon.

I'm looking for least amount of headaches and bullshit.

Definitely want to keep driveshaft and linkage.

Tell me where to spend my money smartly.

4L80 hands down. You can stop asking questions.

4L80 is going to be cheaper in the long run imo

It depends a lot on how you plan to drive the car though.

@Marky Dissod The 4L65e is just a 5 pinion planetary. Nothing super special about it and not really rated for a whole late more power.
