S-sguy · 01-19-2015, 10:45 AM

**67 cst swb** · 01-19-2015, 10:45 AM

Has potential to be a nice truck so far.
Welcome to the board !

S-sguy · 01-19-2015, 11:01 AM

Thanks alot and yes it has a long way to go lol

**DaHos** · 01-19-2015, 11:57 AM

Very Nice project.........

Couple questions. What did you use for motor stands/mounts and any pics of the shifter location in the cab?

S-sguy · 01-19-2015, 12:27 PM

Appreciate it, I used cpp ls swap motor mounts its the newer version on right, and a cpp transmission mount for the t56. For the shifter location, I moved it forward to the inspection port on the transmission with a discontinued kit from Kaiser. It comes out pretty much where they did from the factory. I will take a pic later today for you.

Whats the part number for the mounts on the right. Thanks

S-sguy · 01-27-2015, 10:56 PM

Here is an update on the shifter location of the T56 , pretty close to stock

doo142 · 01-28-2015, 08:14 AM

What type of set up did you use to relocate shifter? That looks great, would love to move mine, thanks!!

Mike C · 01-28-2015, 08:22 AM

Cool project and a great looking truck. Would look really cool to modify an original 4x4 shift handle to attach to the T-56 to have the shift ball in stock location!

slowcpe · 01-19-2015, 12:46 PM

Nice project. Jealous of the t56. Thought about going that route but haven't found a good enough deal on the trans and buying new is too rich for my blood.

68shortwide · 01-19-2015, 03:00 PM

Likin it.

doo142 · 01-19-2015, 05:08 PM

Interested in shifter set up. My t56 has a standard shifter and it is in the way of console.

S-sguy · 01-20-2015, 01:55 PM

Got some work done on the interior lastnight, air box installed along with fat mat

67 chevelle · 01-28-2015, 08:28 AM

Awesome

Justin@EntropyRad · 01-28-2015, 11:12 AM

Cool color...why the choice on the T56?

Ekliptix · 01-28-2015, 11:19 AM

Looks very cool. Nice project.

S-sguy · 01-28-2015, 01:58 PM

Thanks Guys! And I used a kit from Kiaser/Kaiser transmissions.. Not sure if they are still around but I'm sure other people sell the kit. It moves the shifter to the inspection port. And I went with the T56 bc I have the same combo in my 2000 SS and love it , thinking I should cam the LS as well

S-sguy · 01-28-2015, 02:04 PM

O and for the Shifter, I would of really liked to have found a better fit but this is the closest I could find. Does anyone know where I can find something a bit longer that puts the shifter closer to the driver?

Not off the shelf. I'd try and find a chrome OEM 4x4 shifter for a 67-72 and modify it to have the length and offset that you prefer.

Was it Kiesler? They went broke and someone else has bought the business last I had heard. Not sure if they are selling parts/conversions again or not.

S-sguy · 01-29-2015, 07:35 PM

Got the core support back from powdercoat and the radiator mocked up today.. One piece at a time ha

67 chevelle · 09-09-2015, 04:58 PM

Silver Sport Transmissions bought Keisler. I bought my shifter relocation kit from them a couple weeks ago.

Definitely cam that LS motor while it's easy. I put a 2007 LS-2 in my 67 Chevelle and could not bring myself to open up a brand new crate motor. Well, for 8,000 miles I missed that idle and sound of a bad *ss motor. Ran plenty good but didn't have the sound. About 3 months ago I finally tore into her and put a Tick Performance SNS Stage 3 cam in it and LOVE IT.
Wish I had of done it when it was easy to get to like yours is now.
Do it. You will not regret it.
P.S. I also have a T-56 in my Chevelle. Love it too.
