Ecu/tcm ccompatability questions Need some help selecting the proper ecu, tcm and correct wiring harness for my latest swap project. I have been searching for similar post's but not really finding enough info that is current and specific to my situation.
I currently have a ls1 engine with a 4l60e trans in my 74 camaro. I am using the ..411 ecu custom tuned with hp tuners to control both the engine and trans.
The new project is a 70 camaro. I have an ls3 with a tr6060 manual trans lift out from of a 2010 camaro. The ecu is a E38 and no tcm.
I want to do a tranny swap on the two motors. The tr6060 trans will go on the ls1 and i want the 4l60e to go on the ls3.
Questions:
ls3/4l60E: I need a tcm to mate with the e38 ecu. Do I go with a gm part or aftermarket. What tcm's are compatibility. What additional wiring harnesses are required. Am I missing any other needs.
ls1/tr6060: I have the engine controller and I don't believe I need a tcm but I have to have some kind of harness to the trans for vss and monitoring that is compatible with the 0411 ecu. What do I need to make this work. Again, am I missing anything else.
Please help!!!

Thanks for the link. Looking through it. Many of the posts I have found are many years old. Was looking for the most current info available. I was thinking that this was something that has been done many times in the recent past and should be pretty straight forward. That must not be the case.
