Need some help with my 2001 camaro 6.0/4l80 swap Car originally had a ls1, 4l60
That was pulled along with the harness for a swap into a third gen. Now this car is getting rebuilt with a 6.0 and 4l80e pull out. Just a few questions. Will the truck accessories work under a 4th gen hood? I know they do on a third gen. Any other accessories besides f body that fit? Had I reuse the truck harness or do I need a f body harness? Will the stock a4 shifter bolt up the the 4l80? Is driveshaft different length with a 4l80 from a 4l60?
I'm a newb I know... This is my first swap into a 4th gen and am overwhelmed. I'm a third gen guy..

the 6.0 should go in no problem using the ls1 bracketry and such. the 4l80 is bigger i dont know if it fits in there. but you could make it a six speed car.

Don't want to make it a 6 speed car, I already got a 6 speed. I don't need another and plus this car already has the auto console etc. I'm trying to do this as cheap and simple as possible. I don't have f body brackets.

I did a 6.0 swap as well just use the accessories from the camaro they bold directly on with the exception of the alternator. The block has a tab that sticks out on the front drivers side and you have to drill and tap for it. Now as for your trans swap I do not know I have not been down that road.
