LS1 / T56 Swap Questions


Recommended Posts

Here is a link to an adaptor for the slave cylinder side. I believe it to be the correct one, but test it out first as I got this info from LS1Tech.com. It is designed for use on a Jeep, but over in the Conversions forum they say that this does the trick. I’ll be replacing my homemade adaptor with this in the future.

 

This is edited text, before 3/3/06 the wrong part number was posted. The following is now correct.

The quick disconnect on the T56 is held on with a roll pin. Push the roll pin out and pull the assy out. Remove the o-ring and place it on the adapter, push it into the hole and re-insert the roll pin. The adaptor is a –3AN.

 

On the master side go and get the Wilwood ¾" master setup and put the Datsun plunger into it. Open the hole in the firewall up enough to make it fit. The stud spacing is the same so it will just slide on. Attach a –3an adapter to the cylinder.

Measure the length of –3an hose and get it from Earls or wherever and install it.

 

Also here is what I did about the power steering issue. I got a second pulley and measured out a belt at NAPA. The order number for the belt is in the picture.

 

The picture states that I moved the tensioner but I left the tensioner in the stock position and just added a pulley.

It does grab! And the chatter does drive me crazy but the clutch never slips!

 

I've only driven clutches my whole life but I had to switch to auto after using the Mcleod Twin plate. That thing grips and grips hard. Let me know if you're interested and have 2 peice rear main and a t56. That things good over 800hp.

 

 

Right now I'm doing an LQ9 swap I'll try to post as many pictures as possible but it looks like you might need a cowled hood to use the standard intake. This is a great option though in my opinion since LS2's LS1's and LS6's go for so damn much. I got this 40,000 mile 6.0 with an ECU and harness for $1250. Only down side its not an iron block, on the upside its the block all the turbo guys use.
