4L80E swap prices? If not allowed, please delte mods.
For those of you that have done the 4L80E swap into your F Body, what kind of final price did you pay when the swap was said and done?
I'm torn between going 6 speed or 4L80E.

You need to cut one of the ears off on the transmission bellhousing. Needed to do some clearancing and cutting to get the main harness connector to fit on the driver's side. On the passenger's side, I also needed to clearance/cut some of the trans tunnel to fit the the adapters and -6an fittings for the cooler lines (for the later style 4l80e). Would be fine if running stock style lines, but the combination of the adapters and -6an swivel would hit the trans tunnel, so clearancing needed to be done.
If you do a search, there are lots of write-ups of what you have to do w/ pics.
