4l80e swap in 99 Camaro
You guys will also need to cut out approx. a 4" by 4" area UNDER the floor in one of the stiffeners underside of car to gain clearance where the new harness / electrical connector will go. This is NOT a through hole. You will just be trimming & cutting out part of the stiffener under the floor.
This wont weaken the floor much especially if you have subframe connectors which you should should have on your car anyway.
You will also need to cut 1 1/2" off each side of the bell housing to gain header clearance with a sawzall or portable bandsaw.
I also used LS1 ARP Flex plate & Converter bolts so i dont have to worry about shearing off converter bolts when i bolt slicks onto the car.
Heres a link for some great 4l80e transmission -6 fittings for the swap from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6AN-4L80E-GM...3d2b69&vxp=mtr
And these to bring the trans lines forward towards your trans cooler.... http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performan...rentProductId=

My 4L80E conversion is from a 2008 2wd truck.
Thanks,

Sorry to Necro the thread, but why not keep all the info in one place.
So the pre-97 4L60 & 4L80 are better than 97+?

Bringing this thread back from the dead again,
Will I need a new input / output shaft ? Drive shaft?
Cross member needs to be changed right?
Is the wiring harness the only thing thats necessary to get it to shift? PCM reprogramming?
Is there anything else I would need besides what was listed before?

You'll need to change your driveshaft yoke and U-joint, but the stock driveshaft works fine.
Crossmember needs changed. Wiring harness will have to be altered a little bit.
PCM should be reprogrammed, although its not 100% necessary.
