You've really already gotten over the hardest part - resigning to the fact that investments in the 4L60-E have been a lost cause. You did that and you've moved on. Most people just cannot get over what they've spent on the 60 no matter how blatent the truth.

I recently unloaded my 60 fully built with $900 in parts (and smoked 3-4 clutches) for less than the going price of a core. I just wanted the nasty thing out of my garage that badly.

I am doing the same thing right now. Yank just got a tranny brace for f-body 4l80e. If you have a 99-02 the stock computer can be used with a speartech wire adapter. You would also need to flash the computer with a 4l80e software. I am trying to figure out still if the flywheel can be reused. Most of the stuff you have already covered.
