Guest 280ZForce Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yes, would a spacer be needed I guess I should say... you can modify a t5 bellhousing as I've said before to fit a t56 body. I don't know the specifics, but 510six has had it done. no one has done it yet, but also possibly an adapter option instead. But again, no one has done this for the L yet.

BurnoutZ Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 First is of a regular Tremec Borg Warner T56, Second is of 510six's modified t5 bel housing. It appears he has welded a custom adapter... Am i correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Doug 71ZT pretty much nailed it with the ratios. We were considering the T56 with the turbo and a 4.11 gearset for Bonneville, as we need to go 224+mph for the record. Though the 3.54 and Z32 tranny may work in this resepct as well, and allow us to change gearsets to 4.11 for the 'short track' in SoCal. The ability to lope around at 2K rpms is overblown, even in an L6Turbo. They still like 2700 as he stated, and it's grossly misdriving the vehicle if you want any sort of performance without downshifting two gears while you mat it... With a SBC I could see the T56 in a street car... But generally if you have the torque to pull the ratios, less gears will be faster than more gears. Corvettes once came with three speed manuals...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
