Default Transmission help! silverado conversion.

So I need help on my trans setup. to fit an LS1 conversion. I have a 92 chevy 4x4. Does anybody know what would work and what would work best.

I have a 92 5 speed... which the truck is setup for
I have an 89 automatic and the parts to convert.
its not a 4l60e however.
Ive also got a 4l60E out of a 94 caprice LT1.

from what ive found i need to get a 1996+ 4l60E and get a different flexplate. And a t56 will be expesive and alot of work to get to work

none of my transmissions will bolt up will they??

Your best bet would be to sell all of those and just buy a 4L60E for a later model 4WD truck. You will probably come out money ahead, and have fewer headaches.

You would want a 4l60e from a LSx equipped vehicle. That would be 1999+, silverado pickup, tahoe..(I think there should be more vehicles in here , but I know that they will all be 1999 or newer).etc with a 4.8L or 5.3L. You could also run a 4l80e from a 99+ 6.0L equipped truck, but the 80e`s can be pricey.
