Default Stalls when I switch to reverse

Hopefully I’m putting this out in the right place. Finishing up my LS SWAP in my 61 impala convertible. The motor is a 2004 Silverado Z71 , with a 4l60e trans. It’s drive my cable, pcm has been flashed. Motor is basically stock. All other gears werk fine, but when I switch to reverse, it stalls. I have no idea what I’m missing here. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance

Have you gotten it into reverse with it running? Does it move normally ? Or is the trans locked up in reverse?

it will go into reverse gear, but as soon as it does, it chugs and stalls.
