4l80e installed pics, help!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

feedthafire · 03-21-2014, 08:59 AM

So I have a 69 c10, I really want to run the Scotts under cab break kit (already purchased) but I am hesitating about revamping my break system. The bracket they have sold me is pretty badass, its gorgeous. The only reason I am hesitating, is because I am planning to go lq9/4l80e. I need a under shot of the 4l80e sitting to see if there is even enough room to run Scotts set up. I need to know how much room is between the trans and the frame rail so if any one could measure i would love it. Also i will have to route my exhaust somehow so its a pretty big deal for that as well.... PLEASE HELP A FUTURE 6.0 C10

Unless some one has already done this and can supply pics that would be a dream come true haha

I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think you will have room. I've included a couple different chassis pictures, and as you can see it would be tight to do that, but I guess anything is possible with enough fab work.

feedthafire · 03-21-2014, 09:30 AM

Wow, trans is beefier than I knew. I mean I read how much more they were than the 60s but I had not seen a under shot like this... well maybe ill throw the bracket in my closet and wait to swap and see how it sits. Ill leave it on the fire wall for now and install the rest of the Scotts parts I have...

Hopefully along with HartRod's pics, these will help you out.

feedthafire · 03-21-2014, 11:50 AM

Ok, it does not seem unrealistic at all. Maybe i could notch the frame out a bit just to create a path for the exhaust to run...

feedthafire · 03-21-2014, 12:18 PM

I talked to Justin and he says it won't be a problem, but will be a tight fit. Thats perfectly fine for me.

Here are some of mine. 4L80E with pipes ran 2.5" It's pretty tight on the drivers side for sure. I'm running the B&M shifter cable on mine.

tinydb84 · 03-24-2014, 07:12 PM

I know its not the question the OP asked (and not trying to highjack) does anyone have a pic of the height of the oil pan vs the tranny pan? Which one hangs lower?

Depends on which oil pan you are running. The truck pan hungs lower. The Fbody pan is about level.

Andy4639 · 03-24-2014, 08:13 PM

The pictures are of a truck oil pan.

Wasted Income · 03-25-2014, 08:06 AM

Here's mine with a deep B&M pan on the 80e, and an F-body pan.

Truck pans are bad, mmmmmkay? Busted mine open twice on my bagged C-10, lol.
