Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Few little updates, got the firewall cutout and filler metal welded in. Got all the holes covered and welded up. Painted it with bed liner along with the inner fender's. Cleaned and painted the frame and made new cab mounts. Gonna start making the new tranny mount this week. Should be able to finish the exhaust up also.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
When I bought the truck the previous owner hacked the front rad support and used a 1984 rad support. It looked really bad to say the least. Half the battle on this truck is fixing the hack work from the previous owner. Anyway I had to cut the bottom of the inner fenders to clear the newer a-arms and the power steering box, still needs more. Had to trim and cut on the 56 rad support to get it to fit somewhat to the frame. Gonna make some supports for the 56 rad support to the 84 chassis. Everything is really tight but always doable with a cut off wheel and welder. The champion radiator seems nice and has lifetime warranty. Making progress, just SLOW!

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Looking for any leads on a harness guy. I know PSI and Seartech will do it, but damn$$$!!. Thought about do it myself but if I can send it off and get it back ready to go for $250, the time for me is critical.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
LS performance wiring on facebook, best price and they look awesome.
I just picked up a L92 longblock as well, need to do the DOD delete still. |
Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Let me know if you need help with part numbers, couldn't believe how much **** you need for the delete. Should be worth it.
|
Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
I know Brian Tooley Racing sells a complete DOD delete kit for just south of $400 dollars, unless buying parts individually from the dealership is much less?

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
That might be your best bet, I used the stock L92 oil pump, they are high volume. I did change the oil pan out for the CTSV pan, perfect for ground clearance.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Well plans changed! Came across a T56 out of a GTO, couldn't pass the chance to have a 6 speed. So out comes the T-10 and in goes the new goods. I'm running a B&M offset shifter which is good for 4" move foward and then I can run a old school Hurst bench seat Chevelle shift stick. Should be good I hope.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
The Vette headers cleared the T-10 very well, looks like the T-56 is gonna pose some issues. Cutting and welding. It will work someway somehow. I will post pics after I get the Vbands welded up.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Got the headers welded up. Figure once I get it all exactly how I want it I will send it off for jet hot coating. I ordered a 24" long 3.5" in and out muffler. It will be a dual 3" out of the headers to a y pipe into the muffler and then the single out just in front of the rear axle.
Tranny shifter sits pretty far back, no big SUPRISE. I will end up running a Hurst bench set shifter handle to clear the the seat. I also plan to notch the seat and modify the frame of the seat for this. Will look nice when I get the leather put on. Ofcourse my newly made tranny crossmember had to be rebuilt. http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...B5E71811D2.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...B0646497B9.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...A8E626E37E.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...377200DED0.jpg http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...ABFCA184ED.jpg |
Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
i've seen kits that relocate the shifter to grab the shift rails thru the front inspection plate. might look into that. and the output shaft swap and you'll be rollin. lookin for t56 myself. damn expensive chunks of metal they are.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
If the input shaft for the driveshaft comes out of the t56 you can use a turbo 350 driveshaft 27spline input shaft.
we just swapped a ws6 ls1/t56 into my buddies 240 and we used a turbo 350 driveshaft the input shafts could be different but worth a shot |
Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Good to know! The CTSV has the non removable yoke. The GTO just slides out, I will try the T350 yoke. Thanks again

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
yeah no problem boss ill be hoping the 4l60e uses a 27 spline so I can throw it in the 69 burbran im picking up

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Got the intake all finished, l think it looks good. Ran new power steering lines. Found some rad hoses that fit nice, I figure why not take the time and get hoses that look like they belong. I also got all the fuel lines run and pump and filter. I should have my harness back sometime this week and I can fire it up!
