4l60e Vehicles

What cars or trucks can i get a transmission from that would work in my 99z other than a trans am? I've been told the trans from a 1500 silverado or sierra will work, but have to change the bellhousing and tail housing. Is it from a long bed , short bed, any help would be great.

Pretty sure the 1500's have the 4L65E tranny, which will hold up a little bit better than the 60 will.

There is not a length difference. Any 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive truck should work.

You might want to change this and then just swap your tail with the one on the unit and you are good to go. The bell and case are identical. Vince

I think you should rethink what you posted. Why would you have to change a ujoint when the output shaft yoke has the same splines and the same output shaft is used for both?

The only difference in this area is the housing and maybe a pressed on sleeve for a vented yoke on the truck model. For a fbody the sleeve can be removed. Vince
