cool the 4l60's hold up quite a bit too
i know a local guy who has a 408 on his full size chevy running 11.6 on motor and when he put a 4l80e it bogged and ran on the 12's so he went back with the 60..

ya the gearing is quite a bit different between the two. especially first gear

ok pictures

seats and center console for sale

this a 13.5x29 tire i think, just using it to get an idea. we'll probably be running a 28inch tall tire at 10.5 inches wide

the main reason for the auto is so everyone can drive it and the truck will be a bracket truck.

The 4l60e is ok for medium mods but all my F-body buddies usually go with th-400 or th350 still daily drive and the trans holds up.

Sounds good I hope to have swap started in 2-4weeks. I havent decided if I want to go with th-350 or the 4l60e or the t-56.

its all about money. i think by the time we get the trans brake and the converter and the fully built 4l60e. we'll have close to $2000 in it
