I'm swapping out motor with a new gm replacement and I thinking about switching out the cam and putting a upgraded one. I have a new 4l60e transmission with 4l80 internals with a shift kit, 3.73 rear end. And i was wondering with kind of cam I should go with I want a nice sound and I don't want to do any major modifications to the motor.

 

Exactly what do you mean by "I have a new 4l60e transmission with 4l80 internals with a shift kit"?? Didnt know this was possible.

 

The shop I bought my transmission said that's how they built them and that was the first I heard of that too.

 

I get a good laugh everytime I read this.... Super conservative response! I can't believe more people haven't chimed in on this yet!

 

What there to laugh at dude? I by no means am a transmission guru nor am I trying to pass myself off as one. I was figuring he just mispoke and was asking for clarification. So, If you have something to add to the conversation and help the dude out please do. And you are correct. I cant beleive somebody who does know hasnt jumped in here yet either.

 

I'm definitely no tranny expert either, It was just funny because there is no 4l60e with 4l80e internals, because if there was nobody would be doing 4l80e swaps. I'm sure you're aware of this due to your response, "exactly what do you mean you have a 4l60e with 4l80e internals" I just got a good laugh out of it... I'm curious too by what he means!

 

And to help you out we're going to need what size motor, generation, and year of the truck you're putting said engine in. Then someone can recommend a nice cam to go with your tranny, gears, and a nice TQ converter/ if needed.

 

It's 5.7 350 non vortec 1995 silverado 2500 light duty

Well, if you've got the 95 2500LD you have a good read end... 14 bolt semi-float and beefier leaf springs, maybe a extra one, and the 373 gears. Some of those years came with a 700r4, but I'm sure you have the 4l60e; as stated earlier.
As for the cam, I would go with a comp 12-249-4 or you could go with a LT-1 cam( which is a roller cam), and you would have to change a few other things to run the LT-1 cam; lifters, spider plate, and link bars.
Just google 350 TBI LT1 cam swap! This will give you all the info you need to know about that.
