Sorry for all the questions.
As of right now the motor hasn't been placed with the cab on the truck so I really don't have any answer for any of your questions. I went with a high hump because honestly almost everyone else with the 6L80 has and I'd rather have the extra room. The motor mounts are just stock mounts with Dirty Dingo slider plates http://dirtydingo.com/store/index.ph...=1_206_305_322 Right now the trans crossmember isn't bolted in, we drilled out the rivets and moved it and then we'll put new holes and some bolts where ever we need it and then we plan spacing the mount off the crossmember as needed. For the harness, Speartech still has the harness but I'm having them convert to a C6 pedal and adding a tip up/down switch to it. I'm not sure on the other changes, I just heard a lot of good things about them and never really saw anything bad plus they seem to be the leader in the 6 speed auto tuning and electronic conversion parts.
