How is it going? I know I should probably ask this in the trans board but I wanted more specific ideas to me v6, I currently have a non wc t5, my motor is mildly built but I do plan on doing some circuit racing and adding a turbo or a supercharger eventually. So what would be the best trans for what I may be using, standard would be preferable. Thanks in advance!

 

You don't have many options in a 60* v6.

maybe see if the g-force guys can help you?

 

Run what you got till it breaks, but be saving for a WCT5 while you enjoy it now. No use in changing it now, it is working.

 

speedways motors 60* to 90* trans adapter and put a t56 in it with a 4:11 or 4:56 rear gear

 

Pretty much that's what I was planning, hopefully before it fully breaks but only time will tell.

Project: hmm ill look into those, you just spiked my interest in the 6 speed again, are you running that? What's your take on the v6 with the t56. How's the mpgs?

 

im not running one it was a planned upgrade for my car , i just never got to it and have to many projects right now.

i think it will work great specially in a road / circut race useage , u will need 4:10 or 4:56 rear gears to take advantage of the dbl over drive though

both 5th and 6th gears are overdrive gears

as far as the swap it should be the same as a t56 swap into a v8 thirdgen except u will be using an adapter plate

 

Awesome ill really look into that. I really wanted to swap one in but the appeal went away when I realized it wouldn't fit. Hey I know it's a bit off topic but I saw in a another post project that you have a n7 blower or something with intake you offered to seek to another member of our board. Still got it?

 

I have a T56 in my car with a 3.5L V6. It's not a terribly difficult swap. You do need at least a 4.1x rear gear though. Otherwise with a 6800 rpm redline you will be able to hit 60MPH in 1st gear...

 

That's awesome really good news! Is it the same as the v8 swap? Pm me details that you think may be important on the swap

 

Sorry, double replied.

 

The thread with the most information is here:
Adapting-T-56-to-60*V6

There are a few different ways of accomplishing it but it IS more difficult than on a V8. Since you are looking to do it with a RWD block you don't need to worry about trimming the bellhousing for a starter, and you should already have the correct flywheel needed for using an LT1 T56.

 

yes i still have the blower and intake but its going to require a bit of finishng before its useable

 

Oh okay I see, like what kind of work would it need? I may get off you hands if you are interested in selling. Think it would fit on the stock 2.8 and how it compare to the fageol one?

Thanks caffine! Now I got something to study for!

 

it needs welding and final machine work , i drilled and tapped the mounting studs into the plate and when i did they have a twist to it so the blower doesnt sit parallell to the crank , so it tries to throw the belt off.

u would have to have the holes welded up and redrilled

comparing the 4-71 to the fageol or m90 is like a drag race between a stock honda civic , and a dodge viper

lol its a big boy blower , it wont fit under the hood

 

That's fine that it doesn't fit under the hood I need to cut it and have a blower scoop for it, you don't have an intake or pulleys to match it by any chance? I could possibly get all that fixed. How much would it cost if I ask you to fix it for a square bore carb like the Holley?

 

i have pulleys for 10% under drive 1-1 drive 5 and 10% over drive , also have a 4bbl top on the blower , i do not have a scoop for it

the problem is i cant fix it i dont have a milling machine to precisley locat the stud mounting holes, chances are if i welde dup the old ones and drilled them by hand again they might be off


i got the blower cheap , but the drive snout , pulleys and carb top did cost a good bit so id have to total it all up to see what id need out of it to atleats break even

 

Totally understandable, well you let me know if you want to, I have a scoop, so that's no problem. So let me know how much you would like for it :-)
