    Need help getting the I'd on motor and trans

    Ok here is my problem, I bought a truck with a 6.0 swap, the trans was trash so bought a built 1. I'm not getting any fluid flow. So I talkd to circle d converters n he said it could be I'm using the wrong parts to adapt 1 or the othe. IE moter/trans. So I need to fig out wat they r lol. I know the motor is a 2000 6.0. Cast iron heads, but no idea wat flex plate is on it. I used the 1 that was on it. N he says it could be diff depending on trans it came with frm gm. Second need to know wat 4l60e I'm using. I didn know there were 2 diff 1s. But he said it matters so I can see if the right converter is used. So any help on this is a huge help. My project is on hold.

    If the the trans is in place and everything connecting the converter to the fly wheel then it should be pumping oil. Even if the spacing is wrong there should still be enough splines on the converter hub to reach the pump to turn it and if the pump is turning then you have problems elsewhere. What problems exactly are you having? Did you buy the trans new or used?

    All the iron head LQ4s had the long crank and they all had the 4L80e (if auto) from the factory.

    Ok the 6.0 has a 5.3 flywheel/flex plate. What is the right 1 I need? And where can I get 1? Parts stores here don't have a listing for a 6.0 to 4l60e trans
