Some of the wrecked cars (pull-outs) will come with a transmission. On first gen Camaro 67-69, the 4L60E or 4L65E or 4L80E, will fit in the transmission tunnel fine. In 2006, GM started producing the 6L80E and I have only seen one 1968 Camaro with that transmission. This required the Transmission Tunnel to be raised.
If you plan to get a 5.3 engine, then watch out for the 2000 Silverado's with a 4L60-E transmission. I had one to fail within 40,000 miles. It could have been something faulty transmission from GM, because the replacement is still going..
My 67 RS Camaro has an L92/LS3 block with 418 cu inches and Harrop TVS 2300 supercharger. I have a Bowler 4L80E transmission, but the engine dynoed at close to 700 hp and 800 ft/lbs of torque.
