Re: Found a 4l6oe will it work?

Try looking at the vans, the 3/4 service vans for cable and phone companies came with a 4l80e behind the 6L and even the 5.3 in certain cases. If you get a cheap 4wd 4l80e and need to have it rebuilt, you could have the tail section changed over to 2wd style.

a 60e with 650+ hp I'm guessing has to be a Monster or Jake's stage III/IV or similar. Guys with 60e's behind near stock fbodies were grenading them within the first few years when driven "actively". Its not to say that they don't make 60'es that can hold that much....its more the issue that if your gonna drop 4-5k on a built trans, spend the extra $100 and get an 80e. Besides, you don't have to find an 80e that was behind an ls engine, like you would when looking for the 300mm lsx style 60e's. iirc my 80e was from a 97.
