High School Hot Rod, 1968 C10

[autoteach]

Hey guys. I just joined a few days ago but my students and I have been at work for some time. This is what the plans look like;
C4 Corvette front end
Corvette Grand Sport wheels (5 spoke black)
Porterbuilt rear suspension crossmember
homegrown rear trailing arms
coilover shocks at all four corners
rear fuel tank
wilwood rear brakes
OBP 3 pedal assembly with firewall knockout for footsie room
2004 GM 5.3Liter from Avalanche
HP Tuner Pro
Tremec T56 trans

I am picking up the LS 5.3 liter this week and have a t56 transmission. Unfortunately, I have not done my research. The trans is from a LT1.

Let me know if you need a donor truck for next year . Sounds like a great project.

Can't wait for pictures - welcome to the forum.

Dont worry, we aren't doing the body this year so I will have work for years to come. Just trying to get the chassis and drivetrain done.

And thanks for the Welcomes

I don't know if anything from either of these sites will help or not.

Unfortunately neither has an option. Thanks for the help.

I guess I need to look a little closer...could be a ZF trans... it is from a 1994 corvette.

Lucky students! Sounds like an exciting and educational endeavor.

Where was this class when I was in highschool??

No problem. I can't remember what I was wanting to sell or trade. Thanks for the welcomes.

Swap the input shaft and bellhousing and your t56 will work on the ls. Visit 3rdgen forum theyve got info on it there.

I wanted to edit my initial post... but can't.

It is a ZF6, not a t56. I found out from the corvette guys that I need a bell housing and a throwout bearing, that is all. I am working on that now.

[N2TRUX]

Glad to see its working out autoteach. Please post pics and document your build here.

Well, the frame just came back from chemical dip. Boy is that clean. Before we set up the suspension, can anyone give me a shot of a modified wheel base... i.e. wheel centerline moved forward or aft. To me it looks like the front centerline could be moved forward some. Any thoughts? We are running 18" wheels, 255-55 tires
