Anyone doing a manual trans with an LS engine? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been wanting to do a LS engine swap for a while now, and plan on starting it when I can get back to the states. I am going to want to keep it a manual transmission though, and I cannot find anybody doing one with their swap. Can someone shed some light on why noone is doing them, or maybe post links to one? Thanks DOOCE

I would say because more than likely it will need to be a hydraulic clutch setup. Not impossible to do but more work and much more detailed than running a shift cable. Do you have a manual trans in mind?
