Default 4L80 trans swap
I have an 81 C3. I am putting in a 4L80 transmission. Has anyone else made this swap and if so what crossmember are you using for it. I really need the help.

Call SST ( Silver Sport Transmissions) great customer service. I used them for a TKO swap.

Just a question. Why a 4L80E which is fairly large instead of a well built 4L60E? Big HP engine?
I did a LS1/4L60E swap on my 71 C3. Zero tunnel mods.
