I looked at all the angles and was going to have a shop modify the trans so I could use the later PCM, but it turns out I didn't need to. At some point my trans was replaced with a later model that had the upgraded valve body and force motor. Got lucky!
I agree with Dave W - in all my searching and research there's no easy fix to the '91-'93 4L80e force motor cleaning cycle.
I've now completed the 7427 conversion and going through the tuning process. It's been challenging but I think the upgrade was worth it. I built a stroker 383 with vortec heads - the 7060 just did not like the new engine. I was getting a horrible surge on decel that I could not tune out. From day 1, that surge was gone with the 7427. But still lots of other challenges to deal with. I'm getting there.
