Default 70 Camaro. LSx/ 4L80e swap ?

I want to change my 4L65e trans ( good and for sale) for a 4L80e and wondering where on the floor pan do I need to clearance with a BFH?

How far much farther back (short tail I believe) would I have to move the stock TH400 crossmember back? If heard about four inches. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
jimbo

I would think that transmission would drop right into your 70 camaro. On my 91 Z28 it fit no problem same with a buddies 99 TA

Thanks. I remember some guy who did the swap before saying he had to clearance for the tranny.

The trans is kinda heavy (IMO) to be taking it in and out repeatedly while on the floor.

thank again,
jimbo
