what transmission are you running? If its a electronically controlled transmission then yes... like the 4L60e But if you use a TH350 or 700r4 or something along those lines... then no

i plan on using a t56 but i might go with a 4l60e. I want to stay away from computers as much as possible thats why im going to use the carb set up. is there any way around it?

The "e" in 4L60E stands for "electronic" so you'll need some sort of black box to control it.

The T56's only glitch would be the reverse lockout solenoid, but that can be overcome.

joewarner

i see. Basically if i want to go 4l60e i have to use pcm and then its kinda pointless to run a carb since i still have to have what i didnt want in the first place haha.

What would it take for the lockout solenoid to be overcame?

rascalking

You can run the 4l60e with a trans. control box. I would find a 700r4 intead, much more simple, if you want to go the auto route.

This is a TCI controller, not worth it in my mind:

well from what i understand the 4l60e is stronger than the 700r4. thats just what i heard so bear with me on that.

how do i fix the lock solenoid problem?

rascalking

Sorry, no experience with the T56. If you really want to go stronger, and you don't mind the controller, go to a 4l80e.

Some people just hook it up with the brake switch or run without it. Just keeps you from going into reverse when aiming for 5th.

joewarner

so if i hook it up to my brake it essentially does not allow unless foot is on brake yes?

jasonsnova

you can still put into reverse if you dont have the reverse selinoid hooked up ..just takes a little more effort nothing wrong with either way....i hooked mine up to the brake but got disconnected at one point and i never hooked it back up no biggie....t56 is a awesome trans but it is heavy

the 4L60e is not strong by any means in stock form. I'm going with a mildly built 700r4 in my 6.0 carb conversion.

joewarner

oh i plan on building whatever tranny i use. I want to run about 500 whp. so i will build accordingly.

how hard is it to hook it up the the brake?

then run a 700r4.
