Default 4L80E Swap in 99 Camaro Fbody

Im looking to get some help with locating the parts needed to swap out the 4l60 and go to the 4l80 trans. Im hoping someone remember or knows how they found the swap parts. Also let me know if im missing any parts that will be needed.

Slip Yoke - Stock rear stock drive shaft from the original 4l60
Harness adapter- I was told there is an adapter to go from the 4l60 plug to the 4l80 plug.
Transmission pan- what pans are people running on the fbody. Stock pan has a hole from draining the fluids out. So i was going to buy a new one.
Trans Dip stick- I have read some of the post on the forum and ppl are saying just buy a flexible dipstick its much easier.
Tourque arm relocation to Cross member- Which ones is everyone using? i have UMI SL currently but looks like ill have to replace that with a new one so that i can move the torque arm.

Is there any additional parts needed?

You should really post this or have it moved to the auto trans section. There are write ups and stickies that cover everything needed. You'll need a new torque converter. I have a BMR transmission crossmember for a 4l80e when I eventually do mine. I will be running a tunnel mount torque arm, so that wont be part of the equation. I want to say madman and maybe Jakes performance has a factory style dipstick tube. The flexible ones are a pita to fill, but they are super easy to maneuver, so that may make it worth it.

Our BMR 4L80E torque arm relocation crossmember is one of the more popular ones used for the 4L80E swaps. The parts number for it is TCC021 and it is $259.95. It comes either powder coated red or black hammertone and we have them on the shelf ready to ship.
