I was just wondering if anybody had pics of how much to cut off the tunnel brace for getting the 80e connecter to fit, i did a search but came up with nothing, thanks for any help!!

 

I'm interested in seeing this as well.

 

Yes i do, i will try remember to post pics tonight!
Fine fits great.

 

Here you go guys, i will be posting a complete m6-->4l80e swap by the end of the month, im getting close. Here are some of my tunnel mods...

Here is a pic of the tunnel before cutting, tranny was close to where it would be:

I dont have a picture of my final setup with speartech plug on tranny plug. It fits nice, and there is enough room for the wire to come back out.

 

Cool, thanks for the pics. It looks like kind of a pain in the *** to get it to fit.

 

^ +1, I'm saving this link for future reference. Thanks for the pictures.

 

Its not bad, when u see how ppl did it, i could do it over again very quickly. I got sick of looking as well.
Depending on which fittings you use for the cooling loop,you have to cut the other side, i did anyway with the one i chose.

 

What are the options for the fittings?

 

Well, on most 4l80e's, the rear cooling fitting has an extension that extends inthe tranny to dump the fluid in a certain spot, thats critical from what i hear. Some people make custom fittings, some just use stock lines...not sure whats compatible. I purchased a hard line with that extension fitting in it already. The other front fitting i just used a standard AN 1/4" male npt fitting.
If you want more details u can pm me. My fitting is probably not idea because the hardline sticks out enough to cause cutting of tunnel, but it was easy beyond that....i wanted ALL hard or braided lines.

 

You Can use the oem style one or you can custom make a 1/4 AN fitting that has a piece of tubing fit in it.

 

Thanks for the info. Such a tough decision.

 

any updates? im interested in this.

 

In the swap?
