Did the 8l90 fit using a high hump transmission tunnel, or did you need to modify it?
Thanks

I swapped the 8L90E for a 6L80E. I haven't mocked them up, but I am on the thought that it will need a High Hump. A lot has happened over the year that has put a hold on my stuff. We got a new home with a nice shop to work on my stuff. Dealt with the Big C word (Now recovering). This spring I hope to get straight back on this and get it running.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-08-2020, 05:22 PM

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Smitty, glad you’re moving forward. The big C is a miserable foe, but as I’ve learned from personal experience that never giving up is a huge key. I’m so down for this project moving forward. In the words of Joe Dirt, “keep on keepin’ on”.
