Re: Jesses' 48 PU

I have a T56 six speed out of a 2000 Camaro behind the 6.0 that is in the GTO. I can tell you that the 2002 Camaro ran a 4l60e and that engine (LS1/6) was rated by GM at 330HP. The corvette of the same vintage also used a modified 4l60e (bolted to the transaxle) and in 2002 it was rated at 405 HP.

I can tell you the 4l60 will work fine, but if you beat on it (drag race it), you probably will wind up having to rebuild it. I can also say that I have had even less luck beating on a 700r in a corvette I had. For ease of wiring and operation, I would go with the 4l60e. I am currently using this combo (LS1/4L60e) in a 58 vette we are restomoding.

Good luck with your project!

Ricky
