are you gonna have to get a new drive shaft? the slip yoke is is alot bigger than the 60e.

[CHEVROLADE]

u know what man im not sure and yes the slip yoke is huge even the u-joint of course....im gonna leave that to Allen to do.hopefully he can just swap out the yoke like some guys have done

[2boosted]

good luck, I didn't have to change my drive shaft, just yoke and u-joints

[lechez71]

any updates is it running now, or still working on electrical ect ect...?

[CHEVROLADE]

left it with Np...they got it all the wiring done...just waiting on my driveshaft..had to swap out the yoke and joints....then a badass tune...hopefully it will be out for the weekend...

wiring wasn't bad at all. like he said, just waiting on the yoke install and balance

[PlaneJaneSS]

hoping to see it in town this weekend lol

[lechez71]

cool im itching to see how the 4.56 and 6spd perform together, should be a beast.

[farmtruc]

truck is all done! the 6speed helps those big trucks along great, but put it in a small truck and it's even better! no converter really required, however, it needs one at idle with such a big cam.
a converter would make it shine even more through each shift.
this aint the first 6speed i realize, we've all tuned them and drove in them, however, in a regcab, it's awesome!

i'll do a complete write up on it soon, not too bad at all!!!

one bad thing about zach's swap! damn! the driveshaft broke in the center. it reached it's critical speed and with such a small diameter, 4.56 gears and 2 more gears, the shaft is spinning too fast to stay together.
i'm thinking a 4" alumin will be just right.
