Default LS3 Engine with 4L80E?

Doing a swap for a Customer, he bought a 08 LS3 Crate Engine and would like to use a 4L80E Trans, Painless Harness that he will most likely be buying is for a 4L60E... Any way to run a 4L80E?

the 80 plug is on the opposite side of the trans and further back... with an OEM harness it would be a problem, not sure about the painless harness though... and you still need to add a VSS cable or relay and wiring, depending on which way you go.

Good to know, Painless says it works with the 4L60 only so was just curious before ordering the harness

The real question is what kind of vehicle/ecm and if necessary tcm, is going to be used?

LS1 pcm will work

E40/TM42 will work

E38 and up will have issues.

I've done a ls3 4l80e with a e38 and a file out of a new HD truck with l92 and 4l80 as a starting point. The car runs and drives great

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead!, but what harness did you use for the ls3 with 4l80e?

I would love to hear more. I am looking at doing a swap in the future with this particular computer and tranny combo, and I would like to know which particular application (model year) , TCM and ECM were used.
