6 Lug to 8 lug Conversion

[Bowtie2Sierra]

I love it.

Personally, I would go with a single lug swap.

Knock offs FTMFW!

Honestly, what even is that thing? Do people actually use those on street cars?

Looks like a poor man's dually conversion hub.

Maybe you could get one of your instructors to let you do this as a project during your mechanic's training.

I could but rebuilding the 4L60E comes first. The valve body is crewing up on it. I think that famous #7 check ball is sticking on mine. Dang shifts hard and loud from 1-2 gear.

Here's a little light reading for you then.

awesome. Do you if my bellhousing is removable from the trany on mine. I know I have the 2 piece bellhousing.

Yeah, looks like it from here.

There's always a smartass when you need one.

Well, 97 was the half-and-half year for the removable bell housing, but it is only 1 piece that comes off. Easiest way to tell is to see if there are stiffening ribs on the bell housing itself. If there are, then it is removable. If you do have the removable one, you'll need a T65 torx bit. I got mine from Matco or Snap-On for $10 I think.

I have the one piece bellhousing with the removal dust cover when looking underneath.
