I am looking to do the same thing with my 60 but I am going to use a 4.8L. My question is how is the fire wall clearance with the LS engines when using the advanced adapter bell housing? I know with the older generation of GM engines there is definatly clearance issues if you plan to leave the transmission in its origional location. Is this still an issue with the LS?
Do you have an h55f? Honestly if you are going to mate a 4.8 to the 4spd I would seriously reconsider unless this is an off road only deal. Even then the 4l60e auto is better off road than the 4spd. It will only cost you a few hundred more which put into perspective with what this swap is going to cost you is only about 10% more money.
4L60E gear ratios: 1st 3.059:1, 2nd 1.625:1, 3rd 1.000:1, 4th .0696:1, Reverse 2.294:1
H42 Transmission: 1st 3.555:1, 2nd 2.292:1, 3rd 1.410:1, 4th 1.000:1, Reverse 4.271:1
4 speed has a deeper first gear than the 4l60e.
Any how this still does not answer my question of fire wall clearance when using the LS engine with the Advanced Adapter bell housing? Any one??
Already been mentioned, but most torque converters have at least a 2.5:1 torque multiplication when not stalled. So that 3.059 first just became at least a 7.65:1 first gear.4L60E gear ratios: 1st 3.059:1, 2nd 1.625:1, 3rd 1.000:1, 4th .0696:1, Reverse 2.294:1
H42 Transmission: 1st 3.555:1, 2nd 2.292:1, 3rd 1.410:1, 4th 1.000:1, Reverse 4.271:1

I'm trying to decide,the more I read the more confused I get on the best fit.Thanks,BT
