T56 is Here!

I just got back from picking it up. Install won't start for another couple of weeks though . The Pro 5.0 from Norcal Street is on backorder and I haven't gotten the crossmember yet and the bellhousing didn't come like it was supposed to . Ah, can't complain though, I really got a deal still. Anyway, I started a site of the install. Check it often as I'll be adding pics and info as much as I can. www.cardomain.com/id/sixspeedinstall Later!

very cool man, planning to switch the L03 out of there in the future too? ive seen LT1's with wiring harnesses with decent mileage on eBay a lot, ive debated the swap, and planned for it in my car, just my father is 110% against it. good luck with it!

Thanks. Oh the LO3 is definitely going! Not an LT1 though, probably just a H/C L98.

Will Do! One thing to plan on:

Until I get a 9-bolt w/ lower gears (3.45 or 3.70's) my car will be a dog off the line, even more so than now .

Thanks for all of the compliments!
