2 different transmissions, 2 different tranny crossmembers. It will only fit if you do your own modifications to make it fit.

Stephen, what do you think it'd be like? to modify the Torque arm that is? Are the tranny's incredibly different in size?

Im not expecting anyone to make a torque arm for the 4l80e for us boys

I'd just go with the BMR Trak-Pak arm. It comes with it's own crossmember that you weld to your SFC's which it mounts to. After that all you have to fab up is a trans crossmember.

Other than rectangular tube SFC choice is pretty much up to you.

I guess you could go with round tubes but you better trust your welder. You'll either have to weld up a small gap or notch the TQ arm crossmember to get a good fit. I said rect tubes really because thats what it's designed for, slice to fit and weld it up.
