i have access to a fully built 4l60e out of an ls1 style camaro. i can get this thing with the 3600 yank converter for a smooth grand. i know that i will have to get a controller to control the transmission buy my main question is what will i have to do to get this to bolt up to my early small block? is there an adaptor plate or spacer? what problems am i going to run into trying to mate this ls1 trans to my early model sbc?

i dont think it will work. the ls1 4l60e converter is bigger than the earlier ones. will probably be to tight

Call up Ross at Quicktime. They make bellhousings for the 4l60e auto...

Sounds like a steal. You are way ahead of the game. Bellhousing is fine. But you will need a different converter. Shouldn't be too hard to sell that 3600 converter. That's too much stall for a pro-touring car anyway. Confirm the year of transmission. If you cannot confirm, give me a call and I'll talk you thru identifying your transmission input shaft. With the transmission side handled, the torque converter's front cover needs to match your gen 1 engine. That's the best way to get the job done.

We can build a converter to match your exact requirements.
