Re: ls1 t56 regal project.
i got all the f body pedals, going to try and make them work. also, i hate the look of a big 4" intake elbow hanging off so i want to use the factory f body slp lid. mayb fab somthing up to make it look clean. also going to be using f body gmmg exhaust. it will be a y pipe and cross over in the back like the factory g body exhaust ran.

Re: ls1 t56 regal project.
Thats alot of work you've got going on there. The big elbow is kinda gawdy, but it works really well. The only think I could think of for my SS to make the SLP work was to put it up where the hood meets the thing that covers the radiator (words escape me now) and cut a small thin hole in there. I couldn't stand the thought of cutting and messing up so instead I just used the Spectre intake and elbow, and ran the hose down to the drivers side where the hole is
I want to see this though, as I'm debating on swapping a six speed into the car, but am kinda afraid of how much money it'll run me for all the crap that goes with it. I believe John B or if you look for sickspeedmontess either of them have "adjusted" the clutch pedal from an F body to work with the g body cars. Good luck

New ispiration, turbo ls1 and a t56. The rims are sexy, trying to find out what the specs are on the wheels.

Re: ls1 t56 regal project.
The rear wheels look like they're out a little farther than I'd like for my own, but they're wider than a hooker's... well, you know I think it looks killer :twisted:

Re: ls1 t56 regal project.
You jerk those rims were going to be my next setup. I have the specs on them at my work i can get you a link if you don't already have it. You will need adapters because they have metric bolt spacing.

He said he is running 18x10 in the rear 18 x 8 1/2" in the front. Not totally sure what backspacing. The old 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern is actually 120.65MM and you can't use a 120mm rim. You need to use adapters.
