Thanks!

It is one of the best driving engine/trans combos I have ever driven. Great drivability, great power, great gas mileage when compared the the original small block in my opinion. This will not be the last 4.8/5.3/6.0 swap that I will do. I have heard some bad things about the 4L60E on this board and others. I have not experienced any issues with the 4L60E, and I don’t think I have ever met anyone who has. Of course any transmission will have issues if abused or used in a manner not designed for it. For the purpose that I am using it, it seems just fine.
Hope this helps.
