question on 4L65-E

Any info on this trans? It's out of an 03 escalade, I'm getting a killer deal on the LQ9 and the could include the trans for a few hundred more. Planning on installing in a 69 camaro. Should I get it also? What's the HP rating on that trans? is it that much better than a 4L60-E?

I used a 2wd 4L65e on my Lq9 when it was auto- Slightly better than the 4l60 - actual ratings not sure- but Ive seen them ok to 450 at the wheels. I melted mine down at 400 wheel horsepower but. Size and install wise goes the same as a 4l60 and If there was a deal on a 65 and u were going to do an auto - Id take it.
