67 Chevelle, best fitting trans for LS??? Thinking about installing a 6.0 LS engine but which trans fits the tunnel better? 4L80E or 4L60E? 6L80E?
Manual 5 or 6 speed out of donor car???
New one piece floor and trunk pan just installed, would prefer not to cut but upen to it if i know where and how much gets cut
Plan on using oem BB frame mounts and engine mount with DD sliders when i get to that point.
Any suggestions, info, pics appreciated.

1999-early 2001 6.0s had iron heads. Check the fron of the passenger-side head (pic for reference) or rear of the driver's for a "317" casting number, which are the aluminum heads. If it is indeed mated to a 4L80e (which should be stamped on the trans; the '80e also has two speed sensors, while the '60e only has one), the crankshaft likely (though not certainly) has a ~.500" flange (reference), which limits transmission options.
Silverado 2500s came with the 4L80e; starting in ~2004, 1500s with the 6.0 received the 4L60e. If it's indeed a 6.0L/4L60e, it should have an ECU with blue/green connectors and I believe would be drive-by-wire.
I initially put a 4L80e in my Nova without major modification before swapping to a T56, which was a major, but immensely satisfying, undertaking.

I found our he bought the 6.0 and the trans from same place but requested the 4L60e.
2005 Silverado 6.0, im betting a LQ4. 22k miles
All acc, stainless headers, edelbrock single plane carb intake.
He wants $2000 for both
Only thing i dont like is that he painted the block and heads black. How can i get the paint off the heads without tarnishing the aluminum?
