Re: 5.3 and 4l60e question

As far as I know you have to change out the tailshaft in the transmission. To my knowledge that involves tearing the transmission completely apart, the shaft is the first part to go in I think. I had to do this to my 700R4 in my 72'

Re: 5.3 and 4l60e question

yeah, it's a PITA to make a 4x4 tranny a 2wd

I got a 4L60E from an LS1 powered Trans Am for mine.

that would be worth it, but I'd try to find a different tranny.
