So I am trying to mate up the 4L80e and the Engine. I decided it would probably be a good Idea to make sure the dipstick for the trans fits?

Of course this aftermarket dipstick uses the 1 ONE hole on the engine bolt where on a LS BOLT there is NO BOLT hole. So what is one to do?

I decide lets get a 10mm nut/washer combo(pictured), drill out the hole a smidge wider and put the nut in backwards on the trans housing so it will allow a bolt to secure the dipstick tube securely. Plus then you must cut the bolt off to prevent it from hitting the engine block.

So I fit it up then grind off the back of the nut so it will fit flush on the bell housing, thus not allowing the trans to get pushed out against the engine block.

To my surprise it worked really well. Now I will JB weld the nut into to he hole so it doesn't fall out when I bolt the engine and the trans together!
