6L80 Fitment
I’ve had a few guys mention that even with the hi hump, the 6L80 might still have clearance issues? I’ve looked up a few different threads but they were older and no one really had much info on it back then.

Re: 6L80 Fitment
Hi hump will work so long as you get the engine down as low as possible...try and keep the drive line angle as flat as possible....
Also remember to use a sump that keeps the bottom of the sump above to, or level with, the bottom of the cross member...CTS-V is a good choice, assuming you are usng an LS style engine.

Re: 6L80 Fitment

Re: 6L80 Fitment
I have Early Classic Enterprises engine mounts and trans cross member. I just massaged my low hump to make it more round on top. I did fold the flange where the firewall and hump meet. I have about 1" between the trans and the hump. its been that way for 8 years with no problems. Unless you have raised the motor I cant see a major problem.

Re: 6L80 Fitment
Some good data here.
https://paceperformance.com/p-28983-...imensions.html http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge...automatic/6l80 I have a high hump '64' with Early Classic engine and trans mounts and still have 3-4 inches of clearance. The 6L80 looks a bit larger in daimeter than my 4L60E but I can't imagine I would have fitment problems. Nice having 2 extra gears, but it is not as strong as the 4L60 or 4L80. They came out with a 6L90 shortly after the 6L80. Maybe this fixed some of the issues they had with the 6L80? Good luck.
