Electronic Trans Swap

[BigBrown207]

I have an 85 K10 with a mild 383 currently with a 700R4. I want to swap it out for an electronic trans such as a 4l60E/4l65E. I read that the bolt patters would be the same but I test fit a 4l65e and the bell housing sits about an inch away from the engine. Is there adaptors that need to be used or different converter? Thanks in Advance

Did you test fit with a torque converter in place? If so, maybe it wasn't fully seated.

Thank you that was it.

Why would you want to go 4l60E over 700r4/4l60? Same transmission different valvebody. 700r4/4l60, setup TV ( CORRECTLY!!!) and a very little easy wiring and done.4l60E you need a transmission controller.

I wanted to get rid of the tv cable as I did not have good luck getting it setup correctly and two places I took it couldn’t dial it in. I have a full sniper 2 setup on the motor and have the sniper trans controller for the 4l65e.
