I have a 4L60 out of a 98 Z28. What do I have to do to be able to run it? I'm thinking of running it with a Vortec 350 with a 85 TPI and computer on it. What do I need to do to make it work?

------------------
2E,87 Formula 350,with coolant bypass and 160 thermostat and chip. 1986 Z28 with 327 & 202 heads and 5 speed, and usually 4 or 5 others Camaro's & 3 Firebirds to fix, Drive, or sell.

 

the trannys out of the new ones are 4L60-E. the 4L60 without the E is another name for 700R4. i think you will need the computer out of the car your getting the tranny. because it is computer controled. i may be wrong

Yes, it is a 4L60 E. Would the 98 computer run the TPI vortec? Would I just need a custom chip?

You can buy a computer specifically designed to run the 4L60E, but I dont remember where I saw it. Maybe Summit or Jegs? Or B&M?

There is anothe thread here that discussed this, I dont recall the name however.

Jet I belive makes a computer to Controll the 4L60E.

 

Ok, would I then be running two computers, One for the motor and one for the car?

Thanks for the replies.

One for the engine, and one for the trans, yes.

 

I don't think you could convert the 98 PCM for your ECM. Most importantly, the 98 PCM is OBDII so hacks are not available to my knowledge. There are completely different sensors with the 98 PCM, plus the whole ignition system is different too.

The dual computers I think is the most effective and simplest solution.

 

Im Not sure how Much the Computer would run You, but its not going to be Cheap.

Why Not Just Buy a 4L60, or trade Your 4L60E for one ?
