Default 1965 Chevelle LS3 6L80 First Fire-up
Finally got the LS3 running i have to thank Wally a local LS person loaned me a 2011 Corvette computer and pedal plugged it all in and !!! its RUNNING.

Not sure why my computer doesn't work i am guessing its the Tune or a BAD ECM.

You didn't have to do any tunnel mods to get the 6l80 in there?

I am curious about the tunnel also. I am working on a 65 GTO with the same transmission.

Congrats! Who did the initial tune on your ECM? Sounds like that is most likely the issue.

Default Shifter
I think the shifter Speartech sells is from a Malibu ? the shift cable is way to long once i get the placement done i will figure out the cable.
