Thanks. Here’s the thread in regards to the transmission swap. The shifter was inspired by Big Daddy Roth, Rat Fink etc…

6 Speed Automatic (6R80) retrofit onto a FE

Picked up a low mile 6R80 in an attempt to replace my blown C6. Here’s the progress. In four days I’ve reshaped the tunnel. My initial conclusion is that I’ll need to make two access holes directly behind the highest bolts on the new bellhousing in order to install and torque those bolts. This assumes an adaptor plate thickness around 1.25". Another option may be to remove the engine bolt on the transmission and reinstall the whole thing. I don’t have the garage setup for that however. [DSC017…
