Default Engine and Transmission Help!!!!!!!

Hello all, I know this is a very specific question but has anyone ran a 2013 6.2l and a 2009 4l80e together? I'm looking for suggestions on a good budget friendly torque converter? I also need a tailshaft yoke for the 4l80e. My build has been stalled because of these two parts because I can't get any feedback. Any good ideas please!!!!!

Any good and competent drive shaft repair place will have a 4L80E yoke for your drive shaft. If you want to do mail order, try this place in Shreveport, Louisiana that shortened my El Camino drive shaft, welded in a new u-joint at the back and rebalanced it:

I have no complaints with their work and they can probably mail you a new yoke. But let's hope you can find someplace closer to you in Missouri.

I’m runnig a crate LS3 and newer 4l80 with a yank pas3400. Idk what you consider budget friendly but the converter cost me about 1k. 4l80 converters are not cheap!

You're going to spend $800-$1000 for a good converter. That's one area I wouldn't buy because it's cheaper. A quality converter is worth spending the money on. It will be more efficient and last longer.
