Default Torque converter question.

I have a 5.3/4l60E that I am putting in a 1996 S10. The motor is stock with the exception of a small comp cam.

I have a choice of either using the stock truck torque converter or I have a stock Camaro converter I have left from another build. Is there any difference between the two or is one better than the other?

Post the 4 digit Code for both Converters, Starts with a T on 300mm converters.

The stock Camaro converter (1998-2002) is a 12" 1850 stall door stop.

If you want to keep your vehicle mild, go with a 3K stall, 2.5 STR. Yank makes a great unit.

Which ever of the two is smaller in diameter and/or higher stall speed is the one I'd go with.

No S10 converter (AND no any 1996 converter) will work in a 4L60E thats behind a 5.3. Different input shaft, pump stator, bellhousing depth.
