    Best place to get a torque converter CORE ?

    I'm looking for a torque converter core for a 4L60E. Doing an LS swap and need a converter core so I can get a new one.

    I posted an ad here in the classifieds and on Craigslist. Any ideas on another place to look ?

    Anyone here have a core that I can buy ?

    Does it have to be for a 4L60-E? I should have a couple of converters in my junk pile, but none are from a 4L60-E. I used to have one, but I am pretty sure I scrapped it. I can go check.

      Yeah, it's gotta be for a 4L60E since that's what I'm buying.

            Paul, I'm planning on buying a converter from an inline 6 cylinder Trailblazer. They are supposed to stall around 2800 behind a 6.0 liter, from what I've read. Looks like it's a pretty common converter swap, according to what I've found on LS1Tech, and some other searching I've done. Just need a core to trade in on the T-blazer unit.

              Hit a wrecking yard or two. Jefferson, Mansfield Hwy surely one of those places has one cheap.

                -pardon the hijack-
                If I were you (and I realize it's a common swap with the LS1 guys), I'd talk to Mike McGee (Mikes Trickshift) about what you're up to and get his input and a price.
                There is a LOT more to it than just stall speed.

                  I'm running a trailblazer converter. It was 150.00 without the core rebuilt.
