Well, my 67 RS Camaro has LS3 418 with a Harrop TVS 2300 and Bowler 4L80-E transmission. The 4L80-E fits in with no modifications to the factory transmission tunnel. If you plan on a 6L80-E, then you have to modify the transmission tunnel. I seen only 1 done so far, but it is something that you must think about in your build. Mine is a paddle shifter automatic from Twist Machine. Mine should be done this year, but I never built it to be smooth riding car.
I admit that we spent longer on the undercarriage than most pro-touring cars. Actually it was 2 years of re-working the flaws in the factory floorpan. We did some beefing the floor pan, but only a few know about. I could care less if the ride quality is poor, it is high performance car. I couldn't give up the sound of the exhaust! Todd expected that it to ride and be quiet as a Mercedes Benz? Hmmm, Todd hasn't been on the Autobahn! He would have a rude awakening, but I was only in a rental VW Golf. Todd, it only goes 120 mph.
Hey Todd, I have a friend that is a former F-15C fighter pilot, but he refuses to fly in propeller planes anymore since he has flown in fighters.. Ummm, they are rather loud too. It might hurt your ear drums a bit. He is into Camaro's too, but not sure about Mercedes Benz!
