Default Auto swap

First, I just want to say if you're here to bash, then just leave I don't give a **** about zo6 heritage being a road racing car. I'm drag racing, and that's it.
I'm wanting to put a 4l60e in the z06. my car is sitting here with the manual in it. I need a list of everything I need to do the swap. I have searched, and can't really find a good list of things I need. I will start.

Auto torque tube
Seal plate
4l60e
Converter
Flex plate

I know I need a harness will any harness work? What harness do I need with a 01 zo6 has traction control and abs.
Are all the 4l60e the same or is there a preferred year I should try and get? Thanks yall

Get with RPM Transmissions.. They can provide everything you need.

You have the bulk of it on your list, but there is lot of little stuff...

Auto bell housing
Shifter
Cable and brackets
Neutral safety switch (the correct one for whatever harness you are using)
Front coupler
Rear converter drive plate
Transcooler and lines

Probably a ton of stuff I'm forgetting.

Captuff was selling a turn key auto conversion in C5 parts for cheap. Search for it.

Also go to C5 Forced Induction section, there is a sticky with an auto conversion thread that's 50 pages long. Lots of good info and pics. Good luck on the swap.
