Thats why I am looking for a well built 4l60e instead of going to a 4l80e with all the modifications that go with it.

Not for nothing here, but a mild 383 can kick out a big block like 450 ft-lbs at a low rpm. It doesn't matter that you're not wringing it out at high rpm. You're at the upper limit of what the trans can handle without beating on it. Constant 3-4 downshifting and upshifting with the converter locking and unlocking whether your towing or not seems to be high on the list for failures so hammering on the 383 is not the only form of abuse.
Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of what?

I have a 4L60E that was built about 10 years ago. It’s a performance build with extra OD clutches, shift kit, new solenoids, HD shell, 5 gear planetary. It is the older style case that fits the bolt pattern but requires a TC cover. This is a good transmission without a torque converter. You MUST have a good clean torque converter. It was originally built for my Impala SS 1995 model. I’ll take $900 for it local pickup in southwest TN. I can ship but shipping will be actual cost additional. I cannot warranty this unit because of shipping costs and the fact that I’m no longer able to build transmissions and I don’t know who will be installing the converter that if done wrong will kill the tranny. There is no core charge. This is a slight gamble for you but the price is excellent for this kind of build. You might have to change the electrical connector but that should be all to make it work. PM me if you’re interested.Thats why I am looking for a well built 4l60e instead of going to a 4l80e with all the modifications that go with it.

I broke the 4L65E in my SS at around 120K, so at least in this one example, under the LQ9 it didn't have much better lifespan than a 4L60E behind a TBI 5.7. If I manage to break it again before it can clock at least 50K more miles, I'm going 4L80E. When it broke, I was broke, so it wasn't an option to convert at the time.You do what the factory did with 4L65E. Here is a 10 minute rebuild from PowerNation. No idea of parts and labor cost, but claims up to 650 lb. ft. ability.
