LLave Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 No, I feel bad for hijacking post, but I wanted to share all the information I have so far. Never thought about the load point before so I'll keep an eye on it once shes going down the road! Maybe I should start my own build thread but its really not that exciting compared to some of the other amazing cars on the site! Your post seemed to be very on topic to me. Thanks for sharing.

hwvigo Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 I am glad some one is doing this I just wanted to propose the idea, and see what our community had done and could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeK Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 When you can find them, used T56's seem like a steal at $1500 these days. Most seem to go for $1800ish. Saving $600 samoleans would be nice for those if us with less cash than time. So I'm certainly interested to see where this leads. Quick research last night on the internet (for what that's worth) informed me that the early CD009's didn't hold up very well to high power, but 2005 or later are supposed to be solid.

Gus Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Joek - What I found was the 03-04 CD001 had a syncro issue and they had several variations of that CDxxx until they got to the CD009 which was the later transmissions I believe 06+. I'll keep everyone updated and I'm thinking with such a light car and mild build I should be ok. I'm just building a street machine that I can get in and drive anywhere so traction most likely will be an issue before anything else.

Gus Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So I got the engine in and handed my shifter bracket off to a friend that works a fab shop. He looked at the shortening services and he said that it wouldn't be a problem. Using the dirty dingo mounts I slid the engine back as far as it would go. Here are a few pics from the install and I just need to adjust the mounts a bit since the tailshaft is a few degrees off center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2eighTZ4me Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Following this thread. About to do a LS6 swap in my 240 - this couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks for all your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Sorry not much to update since a new addition has kept me out of the garage. A buddy of mine was able to get the shifter extension bracket shortened for me. Currently the engine is all the way back but will need to slide forward about an inch to line up perfectly with the shifter opening. Now I just need to get a car intake, turbo, manifolds modded with v bands a fuel sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxchrisfla Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm looking at pulling this swap off in a e36 bmw, and have been having a tough time finding much info on some of the smaller things involved in the swap like the clutch setup. I know Collins sells their adapter with a 6puck clutch that has the center spline section converted to a 24 spline vise the 26 of the t56. Are you using their disc with your setup, or running something different? I'm ready to pull the trigger on this but the clutch setup is the only thing that's holding me back. Thanks for any light you could shine on this for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I did not get the collins clutch. I ordered a custom Mcleod Clutch through Summit Racing. It has the center spline for the cd009 and a 11" disc for the LS. I actually ordered a package so I got pressure plate, disc, flywheel, bolts, pilot and throwout bearing. I believe I spoke with Lee at Mcleod to give him the specs and set up the order. After that I called Summit and explained to the sales person I talk to Mcleod and need to order MCL-Custom. I also ordered a Dorman slave cycinder for a 4th gen F body, the Russel fittiing to convert the slave from a special fitting to -3an inlet, and also ran an line out of the bell housing for a remote bleeder and for the master cyl. Hope this helps! We added to the family so I havent to get garage time in to see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchboost Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If you wouldn't mind sharing the clutch specs/item # it would be greatly appreciated. Really considering this option vs. T56 Magnum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) So just a little update. the car is very close to having a drive shaft and firing up. I'll keep you posted when that happens but for now I have found a Yoke from Spicer. The number is SDH-2-3-15871X and they're 77.97 from Summit and it fits the CD009 perfect.

Casper0878 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Putting a CD009 behind my 2J in my '73 - would love to hear about how you guys are mounting it in the car! Did you get it all mounted up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've got about 800 Miles on the setup now. Runs good except the guy told me the trans was a reman and it pops out of 5th on deceleration. I've just been driving around that for the summer and will either replace or repair in the off season. I'm still working on the tune so I haven't beat it to hard but it moves pretty good. The front Yoke is a 1330 joint and I found a 1310 flange for the factory diff. I had Fast shafts make me a drive shaft 24.5" long with joints which was only 140.00.
