1970 - 1981 F-Body LS Transmission Mount Adapters

Mount adapters for 1970-1981 Camaro, Firebird and Trans Am LS swaps with a late model GM transmission. They let a T-56, TR-6060, MG9, 6L90E, 8L90E or 10L90E tailshaft sit on a traditional mount and the BRP Sure-Fit crossmember.

  • Two manual and two automatic adapters
  • Crossmember bolts into existing frame holes
  • Driveline angle set at 4 degrees

Tunnel and spacer details are in the 1970-1981 F-Body LS install guide. The Sure-Fit crossmember, mounts and headers are on the 1970-1981 F-Body LS swap page.

  • 6L90E out of a 2009-2014 CTS-V: the 6L90E tailshaft adapter.

1970-1981 F-Body transmission notes

  • BRP says its Sure-Fit crossmember fits every transmission tested, including the T-56, TR-6060, 6L80E and 6L90E.
  • The T-56, TR6060, 6L80e and 6L90e all need some trans tunnel modification in these cars.
  • The 4L60e, 4L80e, TH350, TH400 and 700R4 go in with no tunnel changes.
  • Trans mount spacer count depends on the transmission, and the gold preload plate sits right on top of the mount.

1970-1981 Camaro and Firebird LS trans mount FAQ

Does a TR-6060 need tunnel work in a 1970-1981 Camaro?

Yes. The 1970-1981 F-Body guide lists the TR6060, T-56, 6L80e and 6L90e as needing some tunnel modification.

Will the Sure-Fit crossmember take a 6L90E in my Trans Am?

The guide lists the 6L90E among the transmissions the Sure-Fit crossmember has been tested with.

Has BRP tested the 8L90E or MG9 in a 1970-1981 F-Body?

The guide does not list either one. The 8L90E adapter is made for BRP crossmembers, but F-Body tunnel fit is not published.

Does the crossmember need new holes drilled?

No. Per the guide, the frame mounts and crossmember bolt into existing holes in the frame.
