these things are so massive and strong it turns me on lol
we got going on swapping in the 4t80e behind the rear L67, we used the race prepped block for fitment and mockup (drilled mains, oiling mods, notched bores etc, etc, etc)
evidently the l67/36 flexplates already have the 4 small holes punched in the correct locations they just need to be ground larger for the 10mm bolts.
i took measurements for how much has to be removed from the rear engine bellhousing bolt hole (dont worry the small amount of material that is removed doesnt prevent the block from being bolted in front of a 60/65e in any way, so the block is now "dual pattern" if the new 80e bellhousing bolt hole is drilled and tapped (i used 3/8ths-16 since i have sooooo many grade 8 bolts...)
after laying out the new hole location i drilled and tapped it, then i moved onto the trans to engine brace, all it took was a small piece of 2x2x3/16ths angle.
enjoy all the pics...thats a 93 Gp 60e....
