Re: Did someone fit an 6L80e into a '91 Z28?
I am just finishing a 6l80 swap into a 1991 camaro.The car is running and in for a dyno tune right now. I did need to raise the tunnel 1.5 inches .I cut the same amount out of the side of the console and used a standard size radio inplace of the stock double din unit. It looks very good! I used an LC9 5.3 from a 2011 silverado with an LS2 intake and a 6l80 from a 2011 camaro. I used Spohn engine mounts with 4th gen isolators. For the trans. I used a Spohn cross member and tourqe arm for a t56. With the 2011 camaro trans mount I needed a 1.25 inch spacer to raise the back of the trans.When I cut the tunnel I all the console mounting points on the peice I cut out . I cut just in front of the floor brace to leave that intact. The front cut was just behind the dash so there would be no welding right under the dash. I spaced up the console part 1.5 inches and I then cut slots in the bellhousing area and bent that up to meet the spaced up console area. I then Had I local fabricator fill in the gaps.
