I have a turbo 350 and would like to put a t-56 manual in my 1st gen.
What is involved with this swap?

could we have some more info on your setup?

 

Not sure what more you need to know.

I have a 350 block, turbo 350 tranny. The car's color is blue.

hah, sorry, just was a little curious if you had retro-fitted like an LT1 or LS1 in your car.

when I swapped the trans in my 97 from auto to M6, I had to cut a whole in the floor for the shifter, and cut a hole for the master cylinder by the new pedal.
I'm not sure how speed sensors would hook up.
You'd have to make sure you have the correct bellhousing and input shaft I'm sure, along with a shifter, hydrollic clutch setup, pedal(s), clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate.

There should be someone here with some more info.

 

Keisler sells T56's that will work on the Gen 1 SBC engines. McLeod sells a modular bell-housing setup that allows virtually any engine to be coupled to the T56. They use the LS1 version of the T56, because it uses a conventional pusher clutch, and not the pullback design like the LT1 T56 uses.

We have a "Drivertrain" forum.... I'll move your post there.
