Do you have the 3.42 rear from the Z06?
Now would be the perfect time to mate it with your LS6 engine swap.
Also,if you haven't spent your last dime yet,
Mike Mercury found a real sweet GM torque converter with a slightly higher stall speed than stock.He posted an interesting thread,which included the GM part number,after his installation.

The torque tube for an auto is different than that of a manual tranny.
You can use your existing auto torque tube for the conversion, it's no big deal.
