More information would be helpful.
What year Corvette is the trans going into? (No Vette in your signature).
How much power is the car making; what adders if any?
A 4L80E does not fit a Vette.

Thats not entirely true.. RPM also has conversion kits to run the 60e, 80e, TH400, Powerglides and possibly other transmissions in Corvettes.

Depending on your power level we have many options for 4L60e builds. Our Level 4 ($1995.00) is recommended for stock/ mild bolton cars up to small cammed NA cars. We safely rate them to 450-500rwhp. Our Level 5 ($2395.00) is a solid performance trans capable of handling sold heads/cam combos and mild nitrous or forced induction combos up to 600rwhp. On to the Level 6 ($2895.00). This trans is what I recommend for stroker applications or forced induction over 600rwhp up to 700rwhp. The Level 7 ($3995.00 +$495 for the optional SFI bell housing) is our all out build. We recommend it to anyone making 700+rwhp. This transmission has been tested to over 1000rwhp in our 3970lb 2010 Camaro shop car. It has ran a best of 8.9@158mph. I do not recommend a 4L60e for this kindof power. But if you are the kindof guy that makes 800+rwhp and doesnt mind pulling his trans for a refresh every other season to save a lot of money over a 4L80e conversion then the Level 7 is for you. If you have any questions at all please let me know.

I can vouch first hand on the RPM transmissions. My c5 ran 9.50 on a level 6 and my c6 ran 9.3x on a level 7. They are hand down best 4l60 builder out there.

Sorry for the late reply. Our transmissions don't come with converters. We build transmissions. We aren't a converter company. So we leave that up to the Pros.
