so what tranny should i go with i have a 4l60e sitting in the garage but..

A 4l60e isnt a bad tranny... just have it built a little... if this is a budget build then find you a torque converter out of a s10... it will stall 2700

Tell us more about the motor bottom end and post all the pics you can....

heck a i didnt know that, and i was reading somewhere that a 4l60e wont bolt up to an SBC ... but the motor is .030 with an eagle crank, solid roller lifters, hardened extended pushrods, the cam is a comp cams 12-211-2. air gap intake, ect, ill keep the pics coming
