Interesting data...... I'm assuming weight is with a stock convertor?

Can this be made a sticky so that everyone can find it easily for reference. I was surprised that the Turbo 400 and 350 weighed more than their Ford counterparts!

I'd bet money a 6r80 trans has the least amount of parasitic drag in 1-1..............no bands or one way rollers ...

I would like to see what the parasitic drag of a full race prepped and rollerized c-6 is. My guess would be in full race trim and rollerized that all transmissions would become extremely close in parisitic loss.

I took out a C-6 and installed a Power Glide and the glide weighed 15 lbs less,
Glide was JW case with bell full roller with 9" conv. with a quart in conv.
, C6 was pulled fluid drained but 9" conv. was full
A stock case would weigh less but I didn't trust it behind a BBF

Great thread !
Good info.
I see there is 40 lbs diff. between a C-6 and C-4. Good to know.
