my brother is a welder so im good there

>>17565314
the kit it came with had to go (same with the plastidip)
i bought this thing as a summer project and its now looking like it wont be done till spring

>>17565260
is the spline the same on the vette as the f body t56's?

honestly, man.. find a f body with a t56 in it and just swap that. that way you have everything.

Sell the corvette trans and get one from a gto. Did u buy the mounts? I recommend the poly ones. U need the short shifter kit because the shifter of the t56 doesn't sit high enough.

You need to also hit the walls, as in where the t56 trans won't fit in the 240, u have to dent the walls with a rubber mallet. I did a swap on my s14 3 years ago. U need the slikky away bar also and the new oil pan, the slump one

whats the difference between the vette and gto trans? will i have to bang it out more?
Theres not really a surplus of t56s where i live i had to get this transmission from toronto ffs

i was thinking cxracing mounts and driveline sikky is way more expensive

>>17565260
congratulations on buying the wrong transmission. the corvette transmission will not work. the output shaft is longer than the fbody/gto output shaft. sell the vette transmission and find a fbody/gto one.
t.guy who has rebuilt a 100 or so t56's

Unh. You'd be sad too if someone ripped off your coverings UNH and started poking and thrusting around your insides UNH

Before you do so, the truck interested isn't bad

>>17570702
i dont like the look of it plus it wont fit under the hood
i have read it flows better

>>17570896

the degenerate cancer has a point though

very stupid swapping an LS into anything,
especially a japanese shitbox.
wayy too much weight in the front.
very stupid idea

iron block truck engines go into trucks.
you can BARELY put an aluminum LS inside a car, but the car specifically needs to be designed for that

You ruined yet another s13 with a project you'll never finish. I hope you are proud of yourself. Just list it on Craigslist now and save yourself the years of agony.

>>17571483
he already said it's an aluminum lm4 and a straight six iron block is longer, and thus heavier up front. this is a common swap even motor trend did. go watch their video. their car barely gained any weight up front, since with all of these swaps, you generally cut the firewall and bury the block

>>17570553
thanks for pointing that out i hadnt realized
ive found more than a few articles of people doing c5 to fbody conversions
its still at least $1500 cheaper than getting a t56
the only one for sale where i live is a province over and for $5000

>>17571525
im capping this
i swear ill prove you wrong senpai

As someone who just swapped their 240 these last few weeks the best advice I can give is to shill out for a wiring specialties harness, and tranny harness, it literally saves so much headache and time. This was my first project car too, and of course an sr20 is much simpler than an LS, but it's really not too bad, the shit that sucks is waiting for parts and when something doesn't fit exactly like you hoped it did.

>>17571949
i have a harness for my engine that im going to make work i have friends that are a bit more savy with the electrical work
i got it for 200 bucks so i have to at least try

Good shit 2bh

>>17571483
Then explain flyin' miata's entire existence.

TRUBO kits and LS swaps are like 99% of what they do.

>>17571483
A VR38DETT weighs more than a iron block 5.3. The 5.3 can make more power naturally aspirated than the 3.8tt can. Really makes you think.

>>17565383
>spring

kek

I thought my first project would take a summer. It wasn't any semblance of "done" for 2 years.

>>17573137
A vr38dett makes 2000hp
Show me an na 2000hp 5.3l

>>17571483
>Retarded faggot doesn't realize just how light LS engines are.

>>17574200
I was comparing a na modded 5.3 to a vr38dett because their power outputs are the same. If Japan made a na V8 over 200hp I'd compare that but... Throw a set of twins on the 5.3 and you're still miles ahead. A 2k hp vr38dett is far a stock engine at that point and cost's $100k.

>>17568075
5.3 is a lightweight block as it was meant for more fuel conscious customers.
The 2JZ block is 500 Lbs and longer than the LS

Because small blocks are impractical and unreliable at those levels. There are no ford V8's running 3's.

OK, lads. Just got an old 240 and starting to detail it, got polish, wax, clay bar, glass cleaner, tire and rim shit and trim/black restorer. Anything else to grab besides interior stuff?

And how the fuck do you clean those weird velvety cloth seats?

>>17574511

A vr38dett will ALWAYS out power an na 5.3 no matter what
Even a turbo 5.3, vr38dett has faster records at the strip
