Driveshaft loop for 4l80

[Sean80monte]

Anyone using a driveshaft loop with a ls3 and 4l80e while using the holley mounts? If so what one ? I dse one I have hits the yoke. I’ve looked around and can’t seem to find a one that will definitely fit. The metco motorsports loop is the biggest loop I’ve found at 6.5” diameter. Trying to find that fits before I end up getting the summit universal one. Thanks in advance

I was thinking I would try the UMI loop. It looks like it "should" work.

it's to bad John @ jtracecraft isn't making parts anymore,I'm running his loop and it tucks up nicely into the top of the tunnel.

Nope...I have a basically brand new UMI loop that wouldn't clear!

Pics?

One of us needs to finding the next option. I guess that would be me. 😠

Not sure if I have a pic tbh. Now that I think of it, it wasn't the 80E setup, it was the old 355/th350 setup with a stock driveshaft. With the 80E and 3" driveshaft I'm fairly certain it won't fit, but not pulling the driveshaft to find out lol.
From what's been mentioned, the Metco one supposedly fits the tunnel like a glove.

I had to build my own for my t56. Nobody made one that mounted back far enough, cleared dual 3" x pipe and fit a 3.5" shaft.

T-56 in mine with an Xpipe. I bought one of those for my T5 swap. Haven't installed it yet. How bad does it hang down?

My buddy that welded it for me was planning to build them for sale but he got divorced, was kicked out of his house for 8 months and he just got back in and has a ton of backlogged boat work to do.

Hmmm. That gives me an idea...

That’s a nice looking loop your buddy made!! I have 3” exhaust and 3” driveshaft. There would be more room in my case. Wish he had some for sale I’d scoop one up.
