@@GEARHEADdezign spacing on 99/2000 will be different. 99/2000 2500 trucks originally bolted to 4L80E has an extended crank. The same spacing as the old small block
2005 chevy 1500 excab 4x4 5.3 4l60e. I want to swap to a manual trans. Either 5-6spd. What do I need for my swap? Parts list. Programming for my electric throttle body? Cross members? The whole list. Thank you.
If you do nv3500 or nv4500 5spd it will be pretty much a direct swap. You'll need a 32 spline transfer case though... Manuals and 2500s got the same tcase. 1500 autos are 27 spline. Pedals obviously and a 5spd tune would be smart. You also have to rewire the neutral safety switch
With all of your measurements, how does a T-56 compare in length to a 4L60E? I’m not worried about a drive shaft, but more curious about the mounting options on an ‘03 GMC.
Thinking of 5 or 6 speed swapping a 1995 impala ss. I know the lt1 t56 is a direct bolt on (based on what ive read on forums), but those are pretty expensive. What would you recommend?
Depending on how hard to drive and how much power you make, a T5 might survive. But the nv3500 I tried in my Beretta was just way too short for the shifter position. T56 is probably your best option. That's what I ended up doing in my Beretta
I actually have a video about this coming out as soon as I get one more measurement.... But. The factory bolted up nv3500s and nv4500s in 2wd and 4wd, so you know they'll fit. I have a zf6 in my truck, that according to my measurements will also work with an LS, and I'm putting an sm465 on a 5.3 for my blazer soon. Just about anything SBC or LS or BBC or Dmax bellhousing bolt pattern can work.
@MartinAguilar213 no, I have another video that goes over the differences. 2wd you could make the s10 version with but 4wd uses a 5 bolt tcase not 6 bolt like fullsize
@GEARHEADdezign what about a saginaw 4 speed? I know where to find both for a reasonable price. Any muncie near me people want twice the price just for the trans without bell housing or shifter and linkage. Then I'm doing the mods for a clutch peddle and so on...I'd probably be in it for 1500 bucks doing a muncie swap. Nearly half what I paid for the car. My th350 is slipping in and out of 3rd though.
Yes, to use an LT1 T56 with an LS you have to cover the input shaft, front cover and bell housing to the LS1 style. Which funny enough... I'm doing right now. 🤣
@@GEARHEADdezign did you ever try the smaller 10" flywheel like the lt1 came with? I know the LS flywheel is an inch bigger than the LT flywheel. Looks like it would work if the input shaft length works with the truck bushing.
How did you get the nv3500 to fit the 6.0 I have a 2006 out of a truck and a nv3500 out of a 03 Chevy 1500. I need to know what bushing I will need I have heard the stock 4,8 clutch and flywheel will work.
Yup, pilot bearing, clutch and flywheel from a 4.8 will work no problem. I actually have a new video coming out soon that explains all this stuff a bit better

This video really helped me out in so many ways thank you did you ever get it all together and did it work?
Nv3500 with SBC clutch on LS works
I got a LS with a LT1 t56 saw your other video converting it to work to a LS motor thanks
The NV3500 recipe is the same as the factory did 02 and newer pick-up 4.8/NV3500 combo
This engine is a 2000. But I think rockauto showed a manual available with the 4.8 all the way back to 99?

When I mocked this one up everything was fine. Was the crank different depending on trans from the factory? Cause the 4.8 came out of an auto truck.

Good evening friend, I'm swapping my 5.7 for a 6.0 vortex in a 1991 Corvette. Do you sell the transmission adaptation kit?
No

I'm pretty sure I've read the early t56 is a direct swap lengthwise for a 700r4, so should be same as 4l60e
@@GEARHEADdezignwould this be able to go on a awd drive line?
@@EdwinOlguin-ijjjj people have converted the Corvette-style t56 to AWD. There's info on RUclips if you search

Ok. Uploaded half the intake video. Plenty of stuff to break it in two. Check back for the second half coming soon

@@GEARHEADdezign im expecting to be around the 400hp mark with the lt1. Only issue im having is finding a t56 that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.
Yeah 400hp is getting to the point a T5 is gonna be a liability. I pounded the snot out of my t56 at about 420hp and it held up great
My 5.3 in my 2012 Silverado is about to go out. Want to start building a new motor and trans. What what manual trans can I pair with an L94?

I have a genV 454 and a Borg warner T56 LT1 trans. Any tips on how to make this work?
The lt1 is 11" clutch with 153 tooth flywheel and BBC is usually 12" clutch with 168. The lt1 bell won't fit over the 168 flywheel
You could convert the t56 to ls1 style (I have a video on that) and use a regular BBC bell and clutch with adapter plate for the t56

Im wanting to manual swap my 2010 silverado 5.3 but dont know what transmission to use and really want to keep it at a decent budget. Can anyone help?
Nv3500 is prob a decent option

@MartinAguilar213 no, I have another video that goes over the differences. 2wd you could make the s10 version with but 4wd uses a 5 bolt tcase not 6 bolt like fullsize
Would I be dumb to try and put a t5 from a gen 3 fbody in my gen 2 f body with a sbc 350?
It should bolt up fine and work. They're not super strong but it would work for a cruiser

Saginaw was factory on some 2F. The Borg Warner T10 is another option
So it was going to cost some money to use the lt1 t56 and had to go into the transmission correct?
