You might want to check with your local transmission shop about that. I've been told you can swap out the pre-LS 4L60E torque convertor into the LS style trans which would give you the correct (shorter) snout, but I don't know enough about the transmissions to confirm that.

I wouldve went with the 5.3, but interested to see how this works out for you. Im debating on swapping an 80e behind my 03 6L in my 96 during the swap, I already have everything set up for a 60e, but can pick up an 80e dirt cheap. Some of those clueless GA prices...LOL

Thanks for the correct info! That's why I take things most folks tell me with a grain of salt.
