Yeah, I had read something that said an adapter was needed for the earlier model trans. I was wanted to use my 700r4 but doubt it would last long behind this LS. I I’m using the Fitech Ultimate LS EFI with trans control & it calls for the 4l60, 4l65, 4l80 or 4l85. The rear end is a 8.5 10 bolt & 3:73 gears.
