Dropmember LS Swap Help...

Hey guys,

Specs.... 77 SWB, 5.3, Dropmember

I'm thinking of switching tranny's from a 700r4 to a 4l80e trans with my 5.3 Swap with DM. Seems to be the better way to go. No TV cable problems, better gearing imo, stronger trans all together...

My question is how is the fitment? Will I have to trim the firewall or front of the cab floor? I just finished the cab tunnel for the 700r, of course, and was presented with a good deal on a trans. I have the "high hump" trans cover, and had to trim a little off the front of the cab, but hoping I don't have to take anymore off. Is the 4l80e that much bigger than the 700r?? My tunnel should clear, I'm more concerned with the front where the trans bolts to the motor...
