What is required to attach the 4l80e to the ls2 engine and will it just connect with the wiring or is modification required.
You will need an adapter to make up for the crank spacing difference http://advanceadapters.com/product/3741/712500A.html. The wiring is not a big deal but will require some changes. The computer will need some custom tuning so it will shift correctly (because of the different gear ratios)

Why a 4L80E? Are you towing alot of weight? They are a good HD transmission, But ive never liked them for a performance application. They rob more horsepower than people think.

Having the shaft swaped on your 4L70E & have it upgraded while its apart is the best option in my opinion
