OBS to LSx conversion

yeah, its best to get the later model 60e to take full advantage of what the PCM does for transmission management. I'm sure you've seen the topic 100 times that the 60e doesn't last long behind the LS engines due to all the TQ they put out, so keep the TQ management in your tune to prolong the life of the trans. A lot of guys have stripped the 4x4 front drive assembly out and gone 2wd. If you get the right engine mount adapters it will be a straight drop in replacement plus wiring, fuel system upgrade and exhaust system modifications to marry up to your old system. The Dirty Dingo mounts seem to keep the transmission in the stock location, if there are others I'm sure someone will speak up.

Yes, you can keep the stock tranny-just need to use the spacer. That being said what Red said is true-the 4l60e is happier behind the LSX. Get a good rebuild and update some internals and it will live behind the LSX just fine-as will the 700r4 with the same treatment.

Ya I plan on keeping the newer 4l60e just want to make sure there no hassle to keeping it 4x4 as far as driveshafts mounting up and transfer case etc. All wiring and stuff is no big deal. Just never messed with a swap with 4x4
