10 Speed swap?
Just wondering if anyone has looked into this?
Seems likely to bolt in as the ZL1/LT4 bolt pattern is the same and there is no clearance/fitment differences that I'm aware of I'd assume you'd need the trans, BH, converter, wiring and TCU and then a flash... Has anyone done it yet or looked into it?

I'm curious as well. Especially after given some time and some 2019's start showing up in junkyards.

Don't need to wait - I'm sure there's some ZL1s there already

this is true, and honestly, I'd rather have that 10 speed. I worry about the programming differences however, given the boosted application. the 10l80 *should* be very similar programming, from ss to ss.
I've found several wrecked zl1's in junkyards, but they are proud of them, understandably so. |

I've been interested in this as well, but have been waiting to see someone here do it and the costs. I doubt the programming would be much of an issue.

Trade for a 19 or Zl1. Cost will be prohibitive

Nope... Looking for a specific chassis/trans/engine combo

The cost to trade in is not favorable. I would hope such an upgrade could be done for $7500 or less.

Going to be hard to find an answer seeing as there is very little benefit over the 8 speed so not many would waste the money.

Not if your car is an M6 1LE that already has eLSD. If I was going to convert it definitely would not be for an a8.

That would be a nice swap to do, cost may be some what high for the overall performance you may get out of it. New from GM $6500.00 plus labor and wiring harness (ZL1) that $$ could be used on performance mods. I'm sure you can find some used out of a wrecked ZL1 or SUV
