I was browsing the Gm HP website when I found this info :

GM Hydramatic has baked even more technology enhancements into the automatic transmission line up with the new 4L65E. This transmission, the latest creation from GM Hydramatic Motorsports, is a four speed, offering all the latest heavy duty components to stand up to the power of the LS6-405 HP Corvette engines. Upgrades like induction hardened turbine input shafts, larger intermediate servo, an additional three-four clutch plate. All go toward accommodating higher engine power output. The 4L65E offers optimized performance, fuel economy and increase durability. This sate-of-the-art transmission features the latest heavy duty components and high tech-electronic controls. The advanced electronics controlling the LS6 engine also manages the 4L65E shift points, providing unparalleled performance and durability, P/N 24221888 also includes the torque converter. (No core charge required on this transmission)

Hopefully the 4l60e converters will work. Heck a core has to be worth 3-400.00 to a rebuilder, one of those new 4l65s may make its way into my car soon :)

Interesting... Could this be the tranny for the new Caddy XLR??? If I remember correctly it is supposed to get a variant of the LS6 (detuned maybe??)
