Order a Performabuilt 4L60E. www.performabuilt.com
I can vouch for them. Great guys, great reliability, good prices too. I've been beating the snot out of mine for a year and a half now and it's still kicking.
EDIT: Also, they come with a 2 year warranty (if you buy one of their converters) and require no core. They are also a site sponsor.

$2,895 for a trans with no trans brake and buy a stall on top of that.im far from tight but would never pay that kind of money to keep an overdrive trans in the car,i have less than that into my forged shortblock.someone out there within driving distance from me has to be able to build this trans at a much better price using what i already have.you can buy 3 BUILT th400 trans without the trans brake for what they want for one built 4l60e.at $2,895 for a trans im in the wrong line of work

This is absolutely the case. OD transmissions have more parts and require more labor than their 3-speed counterparts, making them more expensive. If you want OD, you've got to pay to play. Performabuilt offers the best combination of reliability and price. It's holding my 600HP motor just fine.

How much power are you making? Have you considered swapping to a 4L85E?
Crossmember, driveshaft, converter and harness plug change will be needed as well as a PCM tune to control it. Not easy or cheap but it's do-able and will be stronger than you'll ever need in an F-Body.

I had Kenny Langlois (Lang Transmission in Milan Michigan) rebuild my 4l60e a couple of years ago. He's mainly a powerglide guy but my trans is holding up pretty well. Lives about a mile from the dragway. I think I paid about $700 for it. 734-439-7442
