T56 swap complete

This is a good friend of mines 1994 Camaro Z28. Its got a 355ci LT1 that we built about a year ago, GM LT4 Hot Cam, LT's, ORY, Borla exhaust, MSD, and now a T56. We have been working on it on the weekends here lately. We just took out the crappy 4L60E automatic and put the Borg Warner T56 in its space with a SPEC Stage II clutch and B&M short throw. This was the first start since we completed the swap yesterday, and the first little drive down the road. Still need to bleed the clutch again, we have a little grinding going into 3 and 4, but nothing major.

This swap was really not as hard as I figured it would be. If I owned an Fbody with an auto and wanted the manual, I would have no problem doing this to my own car. I always thought that unless you were a really good mechanic it would be really tough, but it was not bad at all for a typical shadetree.

Enjoy-

Same car idling, with the A4 computer the idle is low, so the Hotcam sounds a little meaner than it is.
