on a 1996 chevrolet 1500 shortbed 2wd, can you replce the transmission with a 4l60e with a full bell housing?

Answer 1

You probably could up to a certain year. Now this may get confusing 99 up new body style truck transmissions with v8 motors use a longer belllhousing and bigger t converter , which means its overall longer.but old body style 99 98 truck trans with removable bell-housing and 5.7 -5.0 v-8s should work I haven`t tried this, but as long as you stick with the R or M code engine i don`t see a problem.
