  • Complete Auto to M6 swap: 82-97 F-body

    I have assembled all necessary parts to swap in a manual T56 into my 89' T/A - then I bought a house and got a mortgage. This kit will work for any SBC V8 from '82 to '97 since it's a T56 from a '95. The T56 and clutch have less than 500 miles on them. The guy I bought them from didn't want to drive a stick anymore so he put a TH350 in his Camaro.

    Parts List:
    *Built T56 - previous owner said he built it to handle 700 rwhp
    *McLeod Street Twin Clutch w/steel flywheel - good to 1200 hp
    *Brand New! Spohn Trans Crossmember with front driveshaft loop - built for a T56 into 3rd gens, powder coated red
    *3rd gen Camaro/Firebird pedal assembly with ALL the electrical connectors and switches - saves you money on buying new switches!
    *New adjustable hyd. master cylinder from McLeod for the clutch
    *Stock hyd. master cylinder for 4th gen LT1 cars
    *B&M Ripper Shifter with SLP shift knob
    *4th gen manual shift boot for LT1 cars
    *Stock 4th gen trans crossmember
    *Stock LT1 bellhousing - I hadn't bought an SFI unit yet
    *Clutch alignment tool, trans disassembly tool and shop manual

    I don't have a 3rd gen manual shift boot or a pilot bearing, but both are readily available in the aftermarket. I was going to remove the center console completely so I never got the shift boot. You'll also need the lower shift boot but once again, readily available.

    These kits from F-Body Motorsports or Hawks Third Gen go for $2,000. My kit has a very high end clutch and a built transmission so those guys would charge lots more. I know what I have paid so MAKE AN OFFER and I'll think about it. Items are located in SE Grand Rapids if you want to inspect them.

    Thanks,
    Matt

      That's a good deal...suprised no one has jumped on it yet. I sold my LT1 6 speed conversion with alot less parts than yours and still managed to get $1400....and I had to beat them off with a stick there were so many people interested. Have you tried posting it up over at TGO.org?

            I wish I could. If I had the cash I'd be all over this. But that is just not the case right now. I spent too much on HRPT.

                    I haven't tried thirdgen.org yet. I'm not sure I want to use Ebay due to the cost of shipping a transmission. But the transmission is worthless if the motor doesn't run (which it doesn't right now) so first things first!

                      Dont' pay for shipping, make the buyer pay shipping. That's the way of it on ebay.

                      So, are you just parting it out, or selling stuff because you need the money?

                        I doubt I'd get to installing the T56 until winter so I'd rather use the money for other things. But I'm not hard pressed for money so I don't have to sell it - just want to.

                              Sure I'll take 900 for the clutch, but you need a transmission too and I happen to have one for sale.

                              No low-ballers.
