Found a 4l6oe will it work?

If there is anything worse than a 4L60E....it's a 700R4...lol.

Now the 200-4R is/can be a stout little unit. Lots of Grand National guys running some FAST times with big HP on a mildly built 200. My brother's GN puts 608 ft-lbs to the wheels on a 200.

Back to the matter at hand...an 80e is stupid easy to fit in our trucks, and will hold up to lots of abuse. Even the small amount of harness re-work that is necessary is a piece of cake.

Leave the 4L60Es where they belong. Behind a 3.8L in a 4th gen f-body....

Lets forget about the all 4L60E's behind V8's that tow & generally gets abused & live for 200,000 miles??? Happens all the time.

I know your boosted 6.0 needs a 4L80E, But to tell everyone that want's an LS engine with a few mods they NEED a 4L80E is pure rhetoric.

Many of the 60Es that I've seen that "tow and are abused" don't make it past 60k miles before their first rebuild. I guess that explains why GM applies a heavy dose of torque management to the 4L60E, in the form of timing retard at the shifts, so that they can be "reliable" in stock form, and make it to the end of the warranty period?

Reminds me of a story, a former co worker went to Edmonton and bought a 2001 1500 chevy extended cab 5.3. Could not get the instrument cluster to work. it went for 3500.00 this is quite a few years ago. He takes it to our work and we figure out that the instrument cluster was unplugged.
Plug it in and the odometer shows.....653000!!! six hundred and fifty thousand kilometres!
We go through the truck and find that it was a pilot truck , used to escort extremely large loads on the highway.
There were times when it was getting oil changes every four days!
Any way the point of all this is that truck now has over 700000k on it and still has the original 4l60e.
It has been extremely well maintained and never abused , but its certainly testament to the fact that they can last.
