I know parts of the interior had to be chopped up for a T-400 to fit, I'd imagine the same for a L80. I wouldn't do it to a street car.

that's the whole point of going to a 4l80e is for the overdrive to some streetability. And I am looking for one to fit in a c5 vette which is even more of a challenge.

Yet I am wondering if there is anyone that can tell me everything that needs to be modified on the trans and car for this thing to fit.
