I would like to use the LFX V6 motor with forced induction in a hotrod build I am starting but need to check whether it will fit, what autotransmission to use and whether it can be run as a turn key motor with the stock ECM. I can't find the physical dimensions of the motor anywhere. The stock 6L45 automatic transmission that is mated to the LFX engine is rated at only around 330 ft/lbs torgue. Can it handle the higher torque output that forced induction (turbo or supercharger to 450hp) will add to the LFX motor? If I wanted to use an alternative automatic transmission, which models will bolt onto the factory housing that can handle 450+HP. For example will the GM 4L65e bolt on? Finally can a universal wiring harness be connected to the factory LFX ECM and engine harness to run the motor outside of the camaro, allowing its use in these types of applications, or does it require connections and programing feedback from the cars other computers to function. For example the Ford Ecoboost engine talks to the airbags, and can't be used in this way until Ford offers a turnkey ECM option.
