the converter for a 4L60E for LT1, LS1 corvette 4L60e and 700R4 are the exact same. the converter for a 4L60E for a LS1 f-body is different.

not sure what you are getting at with the question.

internally, everything is identical for the most part. the only difference is the electrical valvebody in the 4L60E which negates the need for a TV cable the 700R4 has. so, save yourself the headache and get the 700r4. you'll just need to run a TV cable to the TB. which there should be a provison to hook one up.

the cost difference between the two should be minimal. like i said, the internals are the same for the most part.
