1967 Camaro LS3/6L80e swap kit

Whats the best swap kit for a LS3/6L80e in a 1967 Camaro?

I am not aware of any kits for the 6l80E. I would use Holley and assume some trans cross member mods and fabrication are needed for the 6L80E. Some tunnel mods too.

I found a crossmember for a 6L80e made by G Force. Pretty much the only one i could find. Is there a certain Holley mount that works best?

They sell a complete system, mounts, accessory drive and headers etc

Is that G Force crossmember for a first gen F body?

Yes. Its part # rcf1-6L80. I havent found any write ups on anyone using it yet.

Nice find.

One thing with a 6L80E is you will likely want to swap to a G8 transmission pan since it is the most shallow. Trans pan ground clearance is the challenge with that transmission.

Ok. Thanks. Is it pretty much a definite on having to modify the tunnel?

Yes, the 6L80e is huge.

I did some fairly major surgery on my tunnel. There is a guy on LS1tech.com who claims he didn’t make any mods but he has a stock ride height which is higher than most want. He never says what his driveline angles are iirc. If you’re not willing to do tunnel mods this is probably not the swap for you imho.

Here you go. Enjoy…

Because he never measured DL angles.

I joined an LS swap group on FB to see what people are doing. I'm finding there are a lot a knuckleheads doing LS swaps lol.
