Not sure if this is the place to post this, but to those who have swapped in a 6.0 LS in their trucks, what have you done for the transmission? Looking at my options here and was curious about the 6.0. I was wondering what all I would need to do for my 4 speed (SM465) to bolt to it. My truck is a 77 K20 with a tired 350/SM465/205. Thanks for the help

You can use your original bellhousing but need to get a new flywheel. I shared a couple pics from my build. https://www.advanceadapters.com/

There are other hurdles, shift linkage and exhaust but they can all be over come.
