LS vs 383

[stepside68longbed]

The ls swap does sound great but as for now I think it's just a bit over my head I feel more confident doing the 383 for now plus I like the old school look with the carb (already rebuilt a holly 4bbl without a problem and I was told their hard to do lol) I cant stand these new vehicles so dang clustered its just a mess and no room to work at all. But I will do an ls swap later down my line I'm 20 so my line is just getting started so I belive a 383 is what I will begin my first build with.

Now I'm no transmition guy at all I need to get a book on them or something. But would a 6 speed bolt up to the 383? And what would a 6 speed be classified as? 4L60E is a 4 speed (that's where the 4 come from) is L for low? And what's the 60E stand for?
