4L60e Tailshaft Housing
I can get a good deal on a L31 and 4L60e combo to swap into my 85 Z28, but the problem is that it is out of a 4x4 Tahoe. Does anyone here know if it is possible to swap the tailshaft housing from a F-body 4L60e onto this trans along with the VSS? Or does the whole tailshaft inside the trans have to be swapped out also?
Thanks For the help.

Re: 4L60e Tailshaft Housing
Hate to tell ya, but youll have to change the tailshaft too... and find the tail housing that will fit (4 or 6 bolt, depending on what year 4l60e it is)...To chang the tailshaft you have to completely tear the trans apart..good time to freshen it up

That's what I thought but I was hoping it would be a little easier. Oh well I guess the trans will just get a good overhaul before it goes in.
Thanks for the info.

not to mention a computer to control everything if you go that route. expect $1000 approx additional for that.

Re: 4L60e Tailshaft Housing
Well I am running the car with the L31 intake and harness at first to get it running, but I am swapping to the 01 Express Van computer to get rid of the rev limit problem. Later I will swap intakes to something a little more performance based like a efi singleplane or something. Right now I just want to get the car moving again, and I can get a really good deal on this drivetrain setup.
