Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's

Wade, how did the 4L80E fit, did you have to modify the floor besides just changing to a high hump? How much room do you have from the transmission to the floor? Also, what headers are you running?

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's

Hey Keith,

Only thing I did was change to the high hump, no other mods. If I remember correctly I had about 1-1.5" clearance. I did trim the big "ears" off both sides of the 4L80. I'm running Sanderson ceramic headers, I don't remember the number (there kind of a short header). I can try to find the number if you need.

BTW: keep working on that body work, it's coming together.

Wade

Thanks, your running the mild front dropmember correct? I'm running the touring front which sits an inch higher in the framerail. I'm just trying to figure out how much room I will have, I really don't want to modify the floor at this point. If you could find the part number of the headers for me I would appreciate it.

Keith - putting in the high hump is only about an hours worth of work. You will save yourself a lot of headaches later, if you do it now. JMHO. Take care,

Rob I already have the high hump installed, I'm trying to figure out if I would have to modify the floor even more to fit the 4L80E. I know you have to on the extreme front dropmember but I'm running the Touring in the front.
