6-speed to the red blocks...

do you know what kind of fabrication it took to do it? would be worth it since there are a few good od's around with blown out 2nd/3rd gears.

just a custom drive shaft would be needed, correct?
 
Hi all


A OD to a M47 wouldn't be far off a bolt up job I would guess

Yeah but he's got it bolted to a NA 16v, so he probobly dosn't need as strong of a tranny as turbo's.
It might be behind a 16 valve. But modded right a NA 16 valve can put out 200Hp+ easy

This is a little bit off topic

I don't know much about the T5
But the T5 has a big brother called a T56 these boxes are 6 speeds if the front of the t5 gearbox is the same as the front of the T56 gearbox there is a chance for a 6 speed behind a Redblock see as the is a adaptor plate in the US already
 
Thats sweet, I never thoguht about that.
As for the T56's....Been done, but boy, its a lot of transmission...

i might look into it.

-i'm pushing NA 8v power.
-will +t soon(needing more fuel)
-i miss my t56 in my fbody

can anyone read that site? is he running it yet? i'd love more info(in english) on rpm's/kph, what driveshaft he's using, and if there was an adaptor plate involved

don't bash the m47, it didn't do anything to you :-(
 
Normal T56 trannys don't have a removable bell housing. Richmound makes a six speed tranny that drops in as a replacement tranny for T5s Summit racing has them for about 2500 i think.

Ummm... yes they do. I had one in the back of my car for measuring purposes up until last week when i gave it back to the guy who lent it to me- and I can assure you it simply unbolted. Standard Corvette (LS1) T56.

I was about to say. My friend removed the bellhousing from the t56 in his camaro.

But what would the gear ratio be like on that 6 speed? Isn't the purpose of a 6 speed (part of it at least) to make the car quicker?
