There may have been some off camera cursing, throwing, and breaking things, but it didn't change the fact that it needed to get done to move onto the next stage! It's challenging staying optimistic with the trend for this car being 2 steps back for each step forward, but I'm thrilled seeing legitimate progress being made

Always dry fit the engine, trany and clutch assembly out of the car so you don't have to struggle as much what final installing. Doesn't hurt to have a tranny jack if you have space below.

For this to work, which version of the tremec magnum t56 would be best?
@GrindhousePerformance
Жыл бұрын
The one I got was directly from GM Performance, but its loosely equivalent to an F Body's (with a few internal upgrades). You can probably make a GTO trans work fine as well, the shifter's still pretty far forward in mine. The GTO shifter is a little further back but a little higher. Apex Engineered makes a trans mount now for LS S30's and would be good to ask which units fit their mounts best if you're not wanting to fab one up

Bad ass. I’m in the beginning stages of my dads 240z rebuild. I have a question. Was the trans tunnel modified to fit that t56? Or is she just really snug
@GrindhousePerformance
3 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks! I had modified the tunnel for a different trans before installing the T56... a lot of years ago. If I remember correctly there were two pairs of reasonably thick brackets that hung in the tunnel for the original trans that needed to be cut out, then a new hole needed to be cut for the shifter. Im not sure if the t56 would line up with the factory hole for the shifter since I'd previously removed the sheet metal there. I had also hammered out the tunnel previously in sections, but the t56 is more compact than the Mustang trans I had stuffed in there. 👍

@@GrindhousePerformance I’m in no hurry to build this. She’s been sitting for 42 years. She’s in great shape and currently have her on a home built rotisserie. I have t3 suspension and really want to go w a 383 and a T56. If I can fit the tranny w out mods to tunnel great. Also I just discovered aTKO5 speed that would fit well. I think your build is great and can’t wait to see when done. Keep up the great work. Thanks for reply.

It would be really difficult to, the floor and chassis has been modified quite a bit so there's a good chance if I just made a copy it would never fit right. Apex engineered sells one now that would be a good solution though for you 👍

Honestly I've been really happy with it and I've owned it for like 7 years now. It does get really hot doing the thick stuff, but any complaints I've had over time turned out to be user error. I did upgrade the pedal, and I use a FUPA12 cup most of the time
