Looks like about 10 degrees. I personally feel every slammed protouring camaro needs the tunnel cut to raise tailshaft for smaller working angles. But that's just one man's opinion. :D

If I remember right over on ls1tech.com there is a thread with someone putting one of these in a first gen. He found a lower profile transmission pan. Probably worth searching for that thread.

Here are some pics of a 71 Camaro we did with 2010 Camaro 6L80 Transmission.. Minor modifiactions required :D

These transmissions are huge! Take into consideration that 2nd gen drivetain sits offset torwards the passenger side about 1/2 an inch..

Pontiac G8 tansmission pan is shallower.. I am setting that up currently on a first gen..

You will require something like this to build a driveshaft..

I have talk to Kyle at DSE about the problem, I have problem with the engine sitting to low in the frame, if I shall get the right angel i have to get it higher in the frame..:) so I have to cut the tunnel and rise the engine and then we are good to go:rolleyes:

I will check out Ls1tech

Its hard when you are stubborn,, and choose to go another way than anybody else:thumbsup:

I don't know if this will help.. but here is a stock sub-frame with a L99..

I recommend that you use the DSE engine mounts.. It is designed to work with engine placement in stock location.. DSE headers will make it a simple for exhaust.. Use a 2002 Camaro oil pan or the new one that Mast just came out with.. I usually set up @ 2 degrees down on transmission angle & 2 degrees up on the pinion..

I hope this helps!

It sounds like Gonzo has you covered. He just showed you he has done exactly what you are doing in a second gen.

It also looks like you will need him to make you a driveshaft adapter. :yes:

Sounds like you have the wrong oil pan. Our LS3 crate engine dropped right in. It does sit low and back against the firewall. How deep is your oil pan?

That sounds about right.. The L99/LS3 for a Camaro has a different oil pan than the one used on a LS3 on a Corvette.. Pontiac G8 has the same oil pan as a Camaro.. For this reason is why I had to change them out..

We ended up using a Champ pan for clearance issues since we had to move the engine foward to clear factory a/c box and a few other aby normal installation issues. But in stock DSE location the factory pan did clear.
