Well, I have all the parts for my t-56 conversion except for the tranny itself and shifter. I have:

Clutch pedal
02 truck master cyl
02 truck slave cyl
02 fbody slave cyl
bellhousing
ls6 clutch, flywheel
arp flywheel bolts
gm pressure plate bolts


A couple of questions:

What kind of hardware mounts the clutch pedal assymbly in? It has a hole in the top, and two on the firewall side, and my truck has a metal bracket on the firewall with 2 holes. I am planning on just using a few nuts and bolts, but I would like to use oem style hardware.

The truck slave doesn&#39;t appear to work with the t-56. The fbody slave is about 2 inchess smaller in diameter and the bolt holes are much closer together. Also, the truck slave has a smaller hole in the center of it for the input shaft. What year slave did you use Ron???

I don&#39;t want to have to rob the line off the truck slave to use the fbody if I don&#39;t have two b/c I paid 130 for it from the stealership and would like to return it.

I guess I still need to pick up the bolts to bolt the bellhousing to the tranny.

Any ideas guys?

My Truck is an 01 model and the I used the slave out of that on my T56. I ordered an 02 F body slave thinking that might be better but they were the exact same part number. My T56 came out of a 2000 T/A so there may be some differences in the years of the transmissions as far as slaves are concerned. [/b]

Do you think a replacement 01 truck slave would have the hydraulic line with it?

It probably would

Do you guys have any extra parts? I need more than just this T56 in the garage.

I have a good master cylinder. I bought a new one thinking this one wasn&#39;t working like it should but it worked the same. I take &#036;35 + &#036;7.50 shipping.

Sent you an email&#33;

So what was the total length of the new driveshaft ? And how much did it set you back if you dont mind sharing.

Driveshaft came from Denny&#39;s, 61 5/8" was the measurement from the back of the trans case to the face of the pinion yoke, &#036;495.95 shipped

Went to the Dyno today and was pleased but I will post in the Dyno Data Section so we can keep all our numbers in the same place

Does anyone know the steps and parts I would need for converting a 2002 5.3 2WD ECSB 4L60E to a T56? I hate automatics and already blew it once.
