I have one mocked up in my car, but the head almost touches the fire wall and the motor is very low. I have not touched the trans tunnel anywhere. I plan on making a crossmember that ties into the subframe connectors, right now (for mock up) I just flipped the stock one and moved it back.

If I remember right, I had to do some slight mallet work to clear the 2/4 accumulator, but nothing crazy.

I have no experience with the 80e but I know my th400 fits like a glove... its a little tight to the tunnel on the drivers side but nothing too bad.I currently am running a home built trans crossmember that I have tied in to the subframes,but I may change it up for something a little more sturdy now with the addition of a trans brake.
