I have already looked. All ratios are programmable in hpt. And as shown in my pics both transmissions used external range switches and have the same switch logic.
They also used the T42 in 4l60 and 4l80 applications, which are popular with the LS V8 guys, so HPT has a lot of support for it.

Accidentally posted this in the wrong thread:
Got this response so far. Are there others?
Every possible configuration I come up with for mounting my drive train ends up with a custom-made intake. As much as I am trying to avoid that, I am also tired of fighting it. I can have a flange laser-cut but does anyone know if there is already something on a shelf somewhere out there? Looking for aluminum ...

got any pics of the engine in the chassis? maybe we can suggest something.
i know how you feel, i went through the wringer with the intake manifold for my 944 swap. i ended up modding an lnf intake to fit the l61. nothing else off the shelf would fit, and i dont even see how i could build one to work better, just too much in the way.

I don't have the chassis built yet, am in the planning stages. I really want to sit next to the engine and the intake gets all in the way of that. I need to get the intake closer and either higher or lower, one or the other. Later this week I'll try to snap some pics of how I am laying it out if i can get organized enough.

That's one of the ideas I have had as well. How much do long runners matter on a force induced engine though? The general consensus I've read in my limited research so far indicates not much ...

I know this is asking for a unicorn, but does anyone have a complete CAD model of an Ecotec engine and / or trans? I have all the dimensions drawings of the front, sides, and back of the block as well as the intake and exhaust manifold flanges. Nothing 3d though.

Relocating the entire oil filter would be convenient for my custom intake as well. I found this:
CBM MOTORSPORTS ECOTEC STYLE BILLET REMOTE OIL COOLER ADAPTER
Also seen this pic:
It appears to bolt in place of the stock cooler but leaves the filter in its current locale. As best I cna tell it is an Ariel Atom part, next to impossible and very expensive to source?
Any other options out there that I don't know of?

Thanks, just for my own future reference, I think this is what you are referring to:
