How will my stocker 4l60e hold up??????
Ok i'm planning on dropping in a LQ4 6.0 to replace the 4.3. My question is how well will my stock tranny hold up. It is the 4l60e. I know it'll most likely live a short life with heavy mods, but i'm figuring to probably just start off with shorty headers, air intake, mild cam, tbi spacer, E fans... etc. Basically bolt ons. Any suggestions to strengthen the tranny for the install or am i pretty much lookin at fryin a tranny stayin stock???????
Torque converter (T.C) will most def. be upgraded, its required... Any suggestions on specific size T.C.?

Knowin me my foot will be pretty heavy...lol I am wantin a hot rod truck but it will also be a daily driver, at least for a while, so i don't wanna be stranded cuz i went cheap and left a weak spot in the build.. My 60e is already at 173k so maybe a built one should be in the plans....

I started modding mine around 165k miles. It went out at 192k miles. All I had was a corvette servo and line pressure added. It took out the 3-4 clutch pack but otherwise is fine. I put a 4L80E in it and haven't looked back. I've still got my 99 Z71 to remind me just how pathetic a 4L60E really is and its even got a shift kit in it.
