I was told by a local builder once back when i was trying to find a 700r4 that the 700r4's and 4l60's had more clutches in the trucks then they did in the cars and small suv's.

its got the same bell housing as a small block chevy so you can basically bolt anything behind it. its just all the computer garbage that would be a pain to get to work right. im running the stock 4l60. soon as it blows im either gonna put a th350/np208 in it or just go over kill with a th400/np205. both will bolt up
