4L60E or 4L80E????? Building a '55 Studebaker Pickup - New all aluminum LM4, 5.3 liter. Need transmission, what would be the best way to go, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L80E???? other????? Not building a HP beast, just would like to get 350 +/- horsepower, and want a dependable transmission. Also, torque converter, stock, aftermarket, how much???? Opinions? Will probably go with a low mileage tranny from a salvage yard, $1,000 +/-??????

For 350hp I'd say any of the trannies would be fine. If your looking for something cheap and aren't worried about od then I'd also look into a 350 or 400 tranny, can find them anywhere and for cheap. I'd definately get an aftermarket converter, really wakes up an auto car.
