Default Trans decision

I am ready to install an LS in my 68c10. Currently it has a TH350 but i am just at the point of putting an overdrive trans since i already have the terminator x max. Truck is 3400lbs with 3.73 gears and 26.5 tires. It will be my weekend cruiser. May do a good burnout hear and there and quite possibly 1 pass at the dragstrip just for fun. Motor is a lc9 with BTR Truck Norris cam. Tbss intake w/dbw and speed engineering headers. Dont imaging anymore thatn 450 crank hp. So this leads me to findind a 4 speed trans candidate. 4l60e or 4l80e?

frank, you are definitely on my list for a 4l60e. You must have plenty of cores. And a 4l60 with shorter first,second and longer overdrive than a 4l80e sure makes sense in my case

A THM200-4R Transmission would be the least amount of work to swap...

And Frank should be able to handle that if there is a Core available.

Honestly they have become like finding a needle in a haystack the 200-4r , I like the trans rather enjoy doing them just cannot get half decent cores anymore and locally when they do pop up people want 400 500 and more for a core.
