I'm sure this has been brought up here before, but I'm new here, and could really use some help...

A drunk driver wiped out my 97 Z-28, insurance totaled it, and I bought it back.

The car is totally un-driveable, so my intentions are to put the engine/tranny into a 70 buick skylark, which is basically the same as a Chevelle.

I'v managed to find pleanty of info on the engine swap, but cant seem to get any help on the 6 speed swap.

I'm no fool, or day dreaming amature for that matter...
I realize this swap is going to be difficult, and expensive...

But any help would be appreciated...

Thanks

 

Well.....

I was hopefull that someone here could at least point me in the right direction

Maybe a web site that could help or something???

C'mon guys.... Pleeeease

I'm not pulling anyones leg here... I'm serious about this and would appreciate some help

 

Not sure I understand the question. Swapping a T56 into an earlier model, WITHOUT the LT1 engine, used to be a problem. McLeod now sells a "universal" bellhousing/adapter, so that problem is no longer there. Spohn Performance can also supply a kit for installing a LT1 T56 in a 3rd Gen F-Body/SBC.

But you are transplanting the complete engine and tranny, so the issues you need to address are limted to:

-where do I mount the master cylinder?
-how do I support the tailshaft?
-will the shifter be located in a workable position?
-how will I interface the speedo?

Is that the kind of info you are after? Unless someone has done the exact same swap, hard to see how anyone would know the answers????

 

yes, and thank you...
those are exactly the issues I am facing.

Anybody know someone who has performed this swap?????
