Default 2002 lq9 with 4l60e

To make a long story short I bought a built 4l60e and then my ls1 took a dump. I bought a fresh rebuilt 2002 lq9 and was wondering if they will work together? If they do what else would I need if anything to make it work? Thanks

Don't quote me on this but I don't think that they are going to work. You need to have a 2003-up LQ4/9 to mate up to the 4L60e without any modifications. I believe that I read somewhere that the crankshaft was longer or had something additional on it that prevented just a plug and play swap.

I did this swap a couple years ago but my LQ9 came from a 04 Escalade, it bolted right up with no issues.
