t-56 swap in a 89 chevy truck
I have a 89 chevy silverado and I wanted to know if I am going to run into any problems attaching a t-56 to my 85 350 engine.
I know that I will probably have to cut my driveshaft and that I will need a flywheel conversion for it since its a 85 engine. My main question would be is the shifter going to come back to far into my seat or not far enough.
Plus if anyone knows where I can buy a conversion flywheel for the swap can you shoot me the website and any other parts that I might need or want to swap out now and not later

Re: t-56 swap in a 89 chevy truck
Most truck applications would put the F-body T56 shifter right in the middle of the seat.
You can put a mid-shift kit on the T56 to put it back under the dash:

2pc RMS T56 flywheels are made by Centerforce, Fridanza, McLeod.
