Default Convert to a 6 speed?
if i took out the 4l60e tranny and replaced it with a t56 would it resemble stock or would i have problems or should i just put in a shift kit?

Swap can be done without too much difficulty. And yes, if done properly, it will look like it came that way. Why don't you try a stall converter? Will very likely change your mind about the automatic.

shifts might feel a little less firm. Having a Converter is like being able to dump the clutch at 3500 rpm when launching.
