92 Camaro 6.0 & 4l60e swap!. Help please!!

What’s up everyone I’m new here and I just need help because everyone else in the world seems not to know either.
I’m doing a 2006 6.0 ls & 4l60e swap on my 92 camaro. My question is what TORQUE CONVERTER do I need to use for the combination?? Please lmk!

I know I need the spacer and flex plate already fyi.

What mods does the 6.0 have? If stock you just need a factory or factory equivalent unit. If you have a cam you'll want to spec the converter that works best with the cam chosen.

It’s all stock! The original setup is 6.0 & 4l80e. But I’m using a 4l60e since that’s what I have and don’t want to switch up. So that’s why I’m asking! So will it still be the same thing you said?

I don't think the torque converter from a 4L80E is interchangeable to a 4L60E.

Correct. I didn't realize you were looking to swap converters. In that case, I'd look for an aftermarket stock replacement for the trans you will be using.

Seems a shame to go through all the effort of an LS swap and leave a stock camshaft and stock torque converter in it.....

​​Huge difference in performance with almost no change in drivability. And it's so eeeeeeasy with the engine out. Get a professional tune when you're done and the car will be quick!
