That would only apply if he was trying to use an old 4l60e, which would also have a 300mm shaft, different planetary etc etc.

and no car ever had a 4.8 or 5.3

If you re-read my post I clearly stated there is no difference between a 00-02 2wd transmission. I should have been more clear and was just stating a fact the if the trans came from a car, more specifically an f-body, you would have to change the tail housing.

oh and the 06-07 monte carlo ss, 05-08 Grand Prix GXP, 06-09 Impala SS, and 08-09 Buick lacrosse had a 5.3. jus sayin.
