Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Thanks guys.

Its nothing like rebuilding an engine and starting her up for the first time. Its great feeling. I'm now rebuilding the 4L60e. I have it all torn apart in my workshop, I just need to inspect all the components and what I will replace and that is trashed. I will make it beefier thats for sure. Than I can installing it in the truck for the last time.lol

Tons of great fab work on your build.. Thanks for the 47-54 battery door idea. I copied your idea when fixing my own floors and it worked out great!!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Thanks guys for the comments on the tool shed it one of the best things I've ever done as far as space is concerned. I wanted it bigger but permits would not allow. It is 12x14 with a driveway between it and the garage. I can park a car between the two and work. My wife has great ideas sometimes.

I can't wait to get the engine in the truck, but I'm going to hold off until I rebuild the 4L60E and I also have to get better torque converter because of the cam.

Here are some pics of the trans tear down and cleaned up.







I have not had time to inspect the components yet, maybe this weekend I can get that done. I need to start ordering parts. I know a sun shell is a must that is a weak link on the stocked 700r4 and 4L60e.
