98 K1500 4x4 Trans swap

[Blazed]

Hey guys, blew the sunshell out of my 4L60E. So im swapping it out for the same thing from Transmission Kingz out of Richmond VA. However I need to replace the TC to get the warranty, so my problem is deciding what to put in there, I see some people saying go with a TrailBlazer TC for 70$. But this confuses me. What would you guys recommend?

Stock converter 1397 Stall gonna run you a couple hundo for a nice rebuilt one or more could be a lot more.

I have a Yank converter in my 98 2wd. Its a nice piece. I see a lot of people all gung ho about getting a high stall. Just be cautious about going too high for how your motor is set up.

I got the trans out, picking up a stock converter later today. Just a few basic things I would like to know.
How many quarts of ATF do I put in the convertor? I read that the trans takes 5 quarts "initial" but 11.3 total fill... What does that mean?
The transfer case is fine, but do I have to put any fluid in that? Also where could I find a replacement output shaft housing that connects the tcase to the tranny? mine has some stress cracks on the inside, but none on the outside.
