I put my T56 up for sale locally last night just to test the waters, I have a sale pending on it for over my asking price but I'm still not sure If I will go through with it as its going to be a fair bit more expensive to do the magnum even without a rear gear change....plus all the unknowns of being a pioneer in the magnum swap.
That does sound like an awesome deal for someone. I'm planning to run an LS so IF I decide to sell my current T56 I think I would go with a magnum but thanks for the offer.
Well guys, I decided to go through with the sale so theT56 is Sold. I got it for a great deal and sold it for a fair bit more than I paid and took only 2 days to sell it, so I'm happy
Ooops....I just looked. A basic T56. That should definitely be a good upgrade...especially in shift quality, IMO.
Hi Tom400CFI,
I have a sbc and 4+3 in the vette right now, driving it until summer's over.
Then this fall/winter I'm doing an LS2 and 6 speed swap.
I have a low miles LS2 sitting in my workshop right now:
I had bought a regular T56 with all the stuff pictured and it sat in my workshop for a few months...
I decided to change course a sold the T56 (for a substantial profit)a few weeks back and just ordered a T56 magnum today.
I'll be doing a build thread later this year or early next year once I get going on the swap. I'm just collecting parts right now, to avoid delays once things get going.
I haven't seen a T56 magnum swapped into a C4 before so I guess I will be pioneering it, I'm a bit worried about the shifter location...but its hard to know until I physically try putting stuff together.
Going to miss the super ram? Are they still bringing good money?
I do really like the super ram. I especially like the look of it under my hood with the custom lid and powder coating/polishing. This was a nice setup for 1980's technology. But I'm sure the 6.0L LS2 will bring a smile to my face when I open the hood also
So far as I can tell they still bring pretty good money... I haven't decided if I should sell it or keep it (in storage).
Mount the coils on the frame rails and get some sexy valve covers. And ditch those dumb, plastic covers.
I did consider powder coating the covers wrinkle black in homage to my current engine... but decided I liked the plastic covers. Each to their own I guess.
My T56-MAGNUM finally arrived today so I picked it up and brought it home...
It took quite a while to get the T56-Magnum as they were back ordered for over 2 months (Glad I was not in a hurry!). Anyway now that I have it in my possesion I talked to the shop that will be doing my LS/T56 convenversion and it looks like they will be able to start on the car first or second week of November. (We didn't want to set a time until I got the trans).
I would have liked to do this project myself but I just don't have the time right now so I have decided to hire it out as I still want to do the swap. Some good friends of my own a shop and will be doing the work, but I am allowed to help as much as I want too.
Can't wait to see this project get going, the parts are stacking up and i'm running out of room in my workshop!
looking fwd to more pics mittz. even if u dont have time to help them out wrenching i knooow u will be stopping in to snap pictures so please share progress here!!!
