LS3 and TR6060 swap advice

Has anyone swapped a LS3 engine and TR6060 tranny combo into a C10? I've got a 67 C10 that I'd like to try this on. I'm having a forged motor built for my 2010 Camaro and I want to put the stock LS3 from that into the C10.

Are there any major fitment issues? For instance, does the cab tunnel need to substantially modified to fit the TR6060? I know motor mounts will be needed. And likely some custom work too. Not expecting it to be a drop in. Just looking to see if anyone has done this particular swap and has some learnings to share.

Re: LS3 and TR6060 swap advice

I wish I could help you....I've got that exact combo sitting in my shop just waiting to go in my AD truck...but from the sizewize of the trans I don't think it'd be much different from a auto...remember. .. they put autos and mannys in the camaros....so they'd have to be close to the same...

Only real drama is no slip yoke....but there is tailshaft companies that make......and also oil pump pipework...& no cable drive for speedo....

and also will probably need a shifter relocator ...for speedo you can use dakota digital convertor or find 91 suburban with electronic speedo...
