Title: t56 swap?
Post by: 67Cuda408 on April 06, 2009, 12:06:13 am

I was just wondering wat all it would take to swap a t56 into a 80 c10? It currently has a 3 spd manual if the t56 wouldnt work are there any common direct bolt in 4 spds?

I have access to a t5 from a 80s firebird would that fit into an 80 c10?

Will the T5 (firebird) fit, yeah, will it last probably not if you plan to abuse it  they were put behind 350's for a reason.

There are a few companies making retrofits for new trannys.  http://www.keislerauto.com/ is said to have the most compolete set of parts.
