Guest Anonymous Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 First, I am a new-comer to this site. After reading a few of the forum I got very interested in doing this conversion. Please help me locate the right parts for this conversion. 1> From what year’s GM vehicle should I look to locate the 350 V8/T56. 2> I know I will have to get the JTR manual. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 if you want the 350/t56 combo, you may just want to go to a salvage yard and get a combo of the lt1/t56 out of a 94-97 firebird transam/camaro Z28. it'll be the best option because they'll include the wiring harness, slave/master cylinders, ecu, and etc. Plus, it's already assembled and in running condition, and they'll usually give you a guarantee as for mounts, the jTR manual has exact specs on how to make your own, or you can buy them from stealth conversions (jtr subsidiary, i think), and they're listed on their site (also in the manual) www.jagsthatruns.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKMGK Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Umm, I don't know where you've been reading - what truck tranny and engine? If you want a TBI injected engine the trucks have them but their transmissions are probably completely different and NOT a T56. If you've heard of a T56 in a truck somewhere I'd be interested in hearing about it as would others I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Go find a GM wrecking yard in your state or nearby state and get the whole engine/tranny combo as Auxilary stated. As a general rule, do not put a truck engine in a car. Most truck transmissions are not an easy fit, and the engines are cammed for low revs and truck torque; this is not what you need in the Z.
