    TR6060/T56 Magnum - tail housing swap?

    I've been doing a little research and found the TR-6060 that the current Camaro SS/ZL1 uses is internally the same as a T-56 Magnum. The difference is the Camaro uses a remote shifter design tailhousing like many newer rwd cars. I've also seen talk that the tailshaft housing can be changed, but...

    Round basic gauge to round w/tach question

    I think I'm actually using the sender/elbow from my '88 pickup... I never checked to see if the ohm range is the same, but it seems to be pretty close... idle is max pressure on the gauge, idle pressure hot is around 25-40psi I think. Both the G-Body gauge and the truck gauge were 60psi, so I'm...

    Has anyone tried the Painless 20102 kit?

    I don't have the $ for one, something to save up for. I'm more focused on sorting the drivetrain, want to upgrade trans/rearend before wiring... it's taken me 8 years to get where I am right now with it, so it'll probably be a while :lol:

    You'll see the wiring for it on the left of the schematic.

    Round basic gauge to round w/tach question

    The oil pressure wire is tan or tan with a black stripe (kinda foggy there). The choke wire is constant 12v I believe where the tan wire is just for the gauge and isn't supposed to be hooked up to anything else. Think of the sending unit as a potentiometer and the gauge as an ohm meter, because...

    Has anyone tried the Painless 20102 kit?

    Nice, that's what I like to hear :D I plan on EFI in the future, adding a stereo system and possibly upgrading the lights, so I'll want to make sure the rest of the wiring is up to snuff.

    4-speed worth looking at?

    I was going to offer $50 for the shape it's in, I would have to tear it all apart regardless. I paid $150 for the one in the car now and it worked fine until those teeth chipped somehow... It was the weirdest thing, I simply forgot it was in gear when I started the car, and I let the clutch out...

    Most popular LS swap? with trans?

    Any LS will be better than what came stock in the G-Body. There isn't much difference between a 4.8 and an LS3 as far as bolting it in, it's more the reluctor wheel and the electronics... accessory drive and head/intake setup is up to you.

    rear end qustion(s)

    There are several rear disc swaps that've been done with factory parts, you don't have to use the entire rear assembly.

    4-speed worth looking at?

    That's what I'm scared of happening :lol: Right now in 1st gear it just spins at anything over half throttle, and in 2nd it starts to spin when it gets up into the powerband.

    Was it an orange convertible? If so... It really was a sight to behold... those pics are from 5 years ago.

    4-speed worth looking at?

    Now that I'm looking, one of the first few listed is a cleaned cluster that will work in mine... might just go that route or find one that might be a little cheaper... I was considering one of the new gear kits online, but those are like $350 for something like 2nd, 3rd, the input and the...

    4-speed worth looking at?

    3.5:1 is what I have right now, it complements the 2.29 fairly nicely, gearing is similar to a 2004R/3.42 setup. http://s302.photobucket.com/user/Skinner12082/library/New%20Saginaw%204-speed?sort=3&page=1 I'm pretty sure a few of those pics are examples I loaded from your site to keep for...

    I've considered a TKO too, just haven't seen any local lately... once I save up the money I'll start watching eBay too.

    4-speed worth looking at?

    I've been trying to keep a watch out for someone with a T56 for a decent price, but the junkyards all have rebuilt units or want a big core charge, and the few that I've found on Craigslist all have owners that thing they're made of gold... most recent is one with 115k and the seller wants...

    4-speed worth looking at?

    The cluster and reverse idler in my 4-speed have a couple chipped teeth... it makes a rattling type noise in everything but 1st but otherwise works fine.

    4-speed worth looking at?

    http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/4962815081.html Does anyone know if the parts in this would be salvageable by a shop? I'm on the lookout for gears and if I can get this guy to a decent price (and the gears are correct) I may finally have found what I need... trying to keep costs down on...

    What did U do to your G-body today??

    Dreamed of putting a T56 and stronger rear to hold up to the EFI 383 I'm considering swapping from my pickup.

    Did you get another Malibu? I'm itching to terrorize Tucson, only seen maybe 3-5 Malibus total, saw several clean El Caminos though.
