01 Silverado LS1 / T56 conversion

[6gear]

I sent Allen my pcm and got it back last thursday, the truck is running fine, I do have a couple more pics and I will try to post them in the next few days. As I told Allen we have some big hills here in Arkansas and I use one to check my performance on by leaveing it in 5th gear and see if I gain or lose by the time I get to the top. My 4.8 with headers, slp pulley and hppIII would break even to maybe gain 5 mph, I have tried once with the LS1 after I got my pcm back from Allen and I gained 24 mph on the same hill which I was proud of.

I had a guy want to know where the shifter was located on a T56 so I found this picture

nice location, i bet that feels a lot better than the stock location, i was thinking of moving my shifter to about that location, actually about 8inches or so more than yours, doh , that messes up my console plan, lol,

you need to vaccuum your floor, lol, jk

thanks for the pic,

The stick you see in the picture is a stock T/A handle, I have since put a hurst on it but I still don't like the length and contour so I am going to try something else. Why did I expect a comment about the floor needing vacuuming when I posted this pic.?

Ron,

Many thanks for the pic! Looks like the factory console might work?


And, I have an idea for a shifter...


Dodge Ram SRT-10 shifter

Wow that looks sweet! I was just going to say that floor is almost as dirty as mine lol!

That shifter looks nice, any details on it?

My floor is dirty too

I have been busy since my last post here, I swapped beds to a stepside, I put on a set of 20's and I did a 2-4 drop, installed electric fans and a cold air system and debadged the truck. I should have some pics in about a week. I plan on installing a Z71 Tahoe grille and bumper cap in the near future and a set of 4.56 gears.

Now that I am finaly comfortable with my shifter I can get a console built.
