No, guess its top secret. Maybe its face plated
I don't know what you are talking about. The transmission was discussed previously. I didn't build it so any questions about it specifically should be directed at John.No, guess its top secret. Maybe its face plated
I sent David a T56 from a 95 trans-am with an LT1 and converted it to an LS1
What info do you need? I think he mentioned all the pieces before.
Billet keys, steel shift forks, upgraded gears, syncros, etc. Stock t-56's arent made for 500rwhp ya kno.
Dave I tried PMing you but said you box is full Hope its ok I put it here.

Hey buddy I have a question. We spoke a while back and I was trying to figure if I should pick up a Cobra (supercharged engine) or stick with the 3.8. What do you think? Experiences? If I stick with the 3.8 what can you build me and cost? (estimate) Would I be able to bring my car to you and have the work done (tuning etc) or do you ship it all out to me? Not to sure what way to go with this. I'm not in a huge hurry I have all winter. On one hand I want to stick with the 3.8 for the ease of install and to keep it as a real SC on the other the HP you get from a V8 is tempting but a lot of work. If I go with the 3.8 and you build it where do we start?
Hope I'm not a bother. Any info would be great!
Thanks
Rob
PS So I read your building another one as we speak want to make it a pair maybe you can save on parts lol

there just needs to be more people that think and do things outside of the box. More leaders as opposed to followers. A 600rwhp blower sc wouldn't be that difficult on e85 and it would still be streetable.
Also some people are a bit too afraid of boost. A motor only depends on cylinder pressure to make hp. If two motors that are the same size, bore, and stroke make 600rwhp, but one motor runs 25psi and the other makes 45psi, then the motor with higher boost just needs to have some good t-bolt clamps. The boost is nothing really than a means to flow more air through the motor. Otherwise it's just a pressurized induction system.

The t56 is a stock 95 TRANS AM LT1 transmission with an LS1 from plate and input shaft. Bell housing is a Macleod scatter shield, rest dual disc clutch, stock sc master cylinder with Macleod slave. Custom drive shaft of course and the crossmember is a stock unit that was modified slightly. I think there are pictures somewhere in the thread.
E85 is hard to find up here still so I can't run it. I can only get 91 octane also so it has to be able to run on what I can get from the pump up here.

John,
Were you running 91 octane & methanol injection when on the dyno and racing it last weekend ?
David
So....they readily make a scatter shield that will bolt from the t-56 to the SC engine? For someone just planning this upgrade would you recommend finding a LS1 t-56 to start with or what is the best route from your experience?
