4L80e transmission question - Lateral-g Forums

Massaging, if any is as simple as heating up the area with a propane torch and tweaking with a hammer. A few love taps is all that is usually required. Stock subframes usually do not require mods. Aftermarket subs usually raise the engine a bit to make steering rack clearance. In that case, the tunnel might need tweaking right where it meets the firewall. We have a big block/4L80E/stock clip car with no tweaking.

Same here! Don't worry, it's tight but it'll fit.

I am using the Heidts front sub frame ...do you know if I will have to modify the tunnel or will it fit??

Sorry, we have not tried a Heidt's clip. You will need to contact them directly. Ask if they have raised the motor mount position to compensate for steering rack to engine (harmonic damper) clearance.
