Well Since I stole my flt 4l65e from my RCSB to go into my CC late this summer, Im in need of a new trans for the truck. Ive always wanted to switch it over to a 6 speed manual, but with a perfectly good and stout built trans it seemed unnessary.
So plan was to get a T56 and have it built up, however I was unaware that there is like a nation wide shortage of T56 cores, not a single builder I talked to would sell me one as a core, and required one to build it.
At this point I was directed towards a t 56 magnum. Capable of handling 700/700 wheel, which would be perfect for my truck, and future plans. SUPRISEEEE They are much shorter and different shifter locations, so for a truck it wouldn't really work.
RPM Transmission had my solution. They convert new T56 magnums to be bolt in ready for Camaro and GTO(which i need), and offer it in there Lvel 5 upgrade...capable of 1000/1000 wheel lol
So i ordered that, and also a new GM Camaro slave, and a Monster Stage 2 Twin disk setup with a billet flywheel also capable of 1200/1200...kinda overkill, but it looks like I wont be changing trannys ever regardless of my setup(hoping to add a procharger at 6psi for a little extra pull) but that will depend on wether I decide to renovate my master suite this year lol
New RPM
Magnum has a 31 spline Output, so I have a new yoke for my driveshaft to swap that over
Some of the new Manual conversion stuff from GM
Master and Reservoir
5 speed crossmember
Clutch Pedal

Also have a new column cover to remove shifter, new bearings, pedal covers etc
Trans comes in 3 weeks, I'll post some more as I progress with the conversion
