Default LS6 swap

can I make my current 4l60 strong enough to handle an LS6 swap? If not what would be the best option, money is an issue.

I'd start searching for a 4L80E. I bet you can get one a lot cheaper than a built 60E.

I see I've just started looking into the swap and I don't know how much of this I will be able to do myself. I was hoping I could just bolt up the drivetrain so I wouldn't have to deal with as many programming issues with the computer........
