* Specific V8 engine matters: While it's compatible with many V8s, it's *not* a universal fit for all V8s. The specific engine's bellhousing bolt pattern must match the transmission's bellhousing. Different GM V8s, even within the same generation, might have slightly different bellhousing patterns.
* Year and model matters: The 4L60E itself evolved over the years, with different versions having slightly different specifications. Matching the transmission to the correct year and model of the V8 is crucial for a proper fit and reliable performance.
* Adaptations may be required: Even with compatible bellhousing patterns, you might need an adapter plate or other modifications for a perfect fit depending on the specific engine and transmission combinations.
In short, while a 4L60E *can* fit a V8 in many instances, you absolutely *must* verify compatibility based on the specific engine and transmission model years. Consulting a reliable parts catalog or a transmission specialist is crucial to avoid costly mistakes.
