Guest JESTER3798 Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Well I finally forked over the dough for the LS1/T56 combo for the 280. I will be using the JTR method of installation. Could anyone point out some troble zones of this install or maybe some helpful tips. ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 mind if i ask you how much you paid for the engine/tranny combo? What mileage/condition? Where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Ryan, the biggest issues will come with the T56 install--use the search function in this forum under "drivetrain" and even under "Chevy" for the info you need. In fact, I think Mike Kelly's write-up is in the tech articles on the beginning page... Welcome to the forum and good luck . Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Star 1 Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Read the (LS1: Auto to manual question) a few treads back on this same forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JESTER3798 Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 i read the last thread about the auto/manual setup. mine is a 99 ls1 with t56 that came aout of the car as a complete unit so i think i wont have to worry about flashing the computer. lone star if your reading this do you have any helpfull hints in the install and also what driveshaft did you use. any body mods due to increase in hp tia ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Look in the Chevy forum, "Crossmember spacers" topic. You'll need alot more stuff from the donor car to avoid ECU reprogramming, auto or manual, doesn't make a difference. Also check out LS1.com in their ECU forum.

Lone Star 1 Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Only body mod made so far is a home made strut tower brace in front, and the R200 LSD 3.36 diff. Find several long treads in this forum in the past few days. Do an LS1 search and read carfully. I'm getting tired of typing and spelling.
