Oh for sure. I'm just wishing for the 4 to be overkill, but I think I'll end up with the level 5 between the cammed 6.0, and the weight of my POS.
Im gonna go lvl 5 when i go 6.0 and send it back in to upgrade to lvl 7 when I supercharge it. :thumbs:

Oh and Im sure you know this but FLT is doing a winter holiday sale....

Yes, I knows it. They also had something for the fall, and will probably run something for the spring too. I'll probably be ordering some time next month though, depending on how long it takes to get delivered.

Yeah I can't freaking wait. I'm a little worried about how much it's going to distract me from school, though. I really need to focus this semester. I think getting the swap done mid-March over spring break will be good though, I won't be anticipating it for the last half of the semester. :lol:

Transmissions are a PITA when it comes to engine swaps :lol:

When you've got a Blazer with a stick, yes... :lol:


Shush you. :lol:

Actually, I solved my transmission choices before you did so :pfingers:

Go level 6 Dan :jester:

:lol:

What engine are you going with, though? :jester:

And WHO suggested the T56? :D2


Actually, it was RS Gear, because they build a T56 for 4x4 applications... :pfingers:
Since they also build it to hold 750 ft/lbs of torque :lol:

I'm probably going to go for either a 5.3 or a 6.0... Which will get supercharged :rollin:

But just dropping in a T56 is impossible :lol:


Hope the rest of your parts show up soon! :thumbs:

At least putting the motor INTO the truck will go pretty easilly :jester:

You can probably fit an NV4500 in there :dunno:

The T56 from RS Gear will work too... But I'm not sure what it's rated for towing wise... Tremec doesn't recommend it :lol:

It should stand up to a good flogging in the mud though... When I get money... I'll find out :lol:
