I see that Performance Automatic has an adapter plate for adapting the 6R80 modular engine transmission to small block Fords:

I couldn't find a price on it, nor anything on how the flexplate/torque converter is connected.
They also have a dipstick and filler tube for the 6R80, part# PA68401, which is good for us DIYers, so we don't have to have a special filling adapter.
Baumann (US Shift) is coming out with a controller for the 6R80 transmission in December:

It'll be $1249, but this one includes the wiring harness.
I looked through their instruction manual and I'm impressed.
A digital to mechanical speedometer adapter is required for our stock speedometers, there's a couple of them available, including one from Dakota Digital for $299:

While this all adds up to $$$, how cool would it be to have a 6-speed automatic that has a 4.17:1 first gear and a 0.69:1 overdrive?
