Welcome to a great site! Lov'n the ls1 and t56 in your G-body too!

Welcome from Calgary, Canada. Sweet ride sir! I would like to see/hear more details on the T56 side of things. Are you using a hydraulic clutch setup? If so, How did you determine location on the firewall for the clutch master? How did you adapt it to the G body pedals? And lastly, how did you get the trans to fit without cutting up the transmission tunnel? I've figured out how to adapt my T56 from a '96 Camaro to fit behind my 455 Olds, but with the correct driveline angle, there's significant interference with the tunnel. More info please!

Am I understanding you correctly? Your asking me about my Ls1/T56 swap? If so, I have NOT done that swap,,,,,,,,yet! My trucklet is a factory manual shift though. It's patiently waiting for me to get off my butt and give her some attention!... You've done some great mods to your Cutty and because of that, expect some questions from me. Okay?

And we'd like to see more on your build as well. Your shop/garage is right up there with your awesome car!

Hi Doug, my apologies, I'm still getting used to the new format. Apparently I chose the wrong little box to type my reply into, and it quoted the last post (which was yours) mistakenly.
As far as questions for me, fire away. You'll find more info on my build on "Juggernaut build thread" under build threads. That way we don't hijack this poor gentlemans thread.
