Chevy L8P Crate engine & 6L80e Transmission in 71 Camaro

[csouth]

Hey Carlo,

I just saw your post and I know it has been a while but if I can help I would like to. I put a L8T crate engine(the L8P wasn't out yet) in my 72 Camaro with a Tremec 5-speed. I put a Texas-Speed cam, springs and pushrods. I also did a CHE trunion upgrade and a LT2 Corvette intake turned around backwards with Speed Engineering mid length headers. I will tell you that this thing RIPS!! I used Speed Engineering LT mount plates to the SBC factory motor mounts. I cut the mounts down 1 inch to get the engine as low as possible to give me as much clearance in the tunnel for the transmission as possible.

6L80 is way bigger than a TKO/TKX... that trans is not going to work without cutting the tunnel. It won't even fit in an A Body without mods let alone and F Body...
