Default 6L80 and LS7 Question

I've got a '55 Belair and I'm putting a LS7 in, I would like to do a 6L80 but I can't find one for a '10 Camaro SS. My question is the 6L80 MYC that's in a camaro, is it the same as the 6L80 MYC that's in a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 6.2L 4x2 that's a 6-speed automatic? That's the trans I want to use but I can only find ones out of silverado's.

Thanks for all the help

Yes and no. The one in the truck will have a slip yoke. The Camaro's is fixed. Now I am not sure if its a matter of changing tail housings or if you have to swap shafts. I think you have to swap shafts.

Plus you might have to mod the trans tunnel to clear the larger case of the 6l80.

Look for a 6l90 as well. Same size little longer also little stronger.

What he said. The 6l90 is used behind the 556 hp LSA engine in the CTSV.

Default I'm in the same boat

I actually have a 6L80 out of a 2010 Camaro that I'm putting in my 65. Anyone know how to convert the Camaro trans to a slip yoke? Or anyone that would do that? I'm having a tough time finding anyone that knows what I'm talking about here in Denver.

Thanks.

Ask in the transmission section. But pretty sure you have to swap the output shaft out.

I just sell it and get a truck 2wd unit.

Don't forget that many more 6L90's were put into trucks than CTS-V's. I would just look for a 6L80 or 90 from a 2wd truck. The G8 and Camaro 6L80 have a goofy yoke on them, you wouldn't be able to run a u-joint with it but maybe the truck yoke will bolt on?

The G8/Camaro/ and CTSV have the fixed yoke output. And you can't just remove it and install the truck slip yoke. The outputshafts are different.

I broke down and bought the Camaro driveshaft. I'll post pictures soon.

Cheers,
