And you know it gets done right..hopefully..

That and I like to do it myself so when something comes up, I can figure it out and make it work. A project like this, there is always something that will snag you. This was a smooth install for the most part, but trust me, it had it's moments..I said more cuss words in a hour than most people say in a month..

Well maybe I should wait a few more years until I have a house of my own and a steady income. Then I could just take my time and do it all myself. I would enjoy it just would have to do a lot of reading and definetely take my time.

Right now it's a 10-Bolt that I built. It's a Auburn Pro Series with Motive 3.73's.
How you launch it is really how you keep a 10-Bolt in it.

No it's how you don't launch that keeps a 10 bolt. Haha. BTW, did you have to pickup another 4l60e just for the LS swap? Kinda aggravating to do that just for silly little details like input shaft.

There is no LT1 4L65E..I got it out of a wrecked 2005 Truck for $150, then combined the good parts out of my LT1 and had it built up.

Not from the factory but you can add the couple little parts and it's a "4l65e." I think it's just an updated low roller clutch and maybe a couple other little things.

Five-pinion planetaries, along with a higher capacity input housing and induction hardened input shaft assembly.

Congratulations man!

I haven't been following to closely, just knew that you were working on it for a while. Are there any dyno numbers or anything yet? If not, what are you expecting? Have you even had it tuned yet? Sounds incredible!
