T-56 Swap
 
I don't have a car a the moment but i am planning on buying a third gen, and dropping in a built 383 in. I know that the T5 wont hold up for very long, and i was wondering if anybody knows some places where you can buy the things to do the swap. Thanx

many junk yards have them

Dna383 03-01-2005 09:56 PM

Yeah idk i heard there are some places where you can get the complete trans to drop right in (shifter, crossmember, etc.) ill find something

archemedes 03-01-2005 09:59 PM

haven't seen anything myself, but to buy a kit will be expensive and doing the crossmember is extremely easy all the parts would be on a junkyard car

Dna383 03-03-2005 10:03 AM

alfight that's prolly what ill do, thanks

69z-28 03-04-2005 02:48 PM

nope, i showed them and it was new to them, but like eveyrone thought, they dont have much listed or much info.gonna have to call them up and ask prolly

Good luck on it keep updated I want to do it to my 84 but I am only 17 with a part-time job!!

Dna383 03-16-2005 09:36 AM

haha, yeah im only 16, i found a place where i can bould up a t5 into a bad *** tranny. it makes it clutch asisted, so when shifting you only need to let of the gas and slam the gear, no clutch needed. it can handle 600 hp, where the T-56 can only hold like 450, and its cheaper and easier. i'll find the link

Camarocam 03-16-2005 11:47 AM
