Default T56 on a 3800?
Possible to put the .50 (from Bird) T56 on a 3800? What would be involved?

You need to really clarify.

I think I understand but please. Try Again.

bellhousing adaptation, input shaft length verification; shimming of slave cylinder as needed; a 26 spline hub disc...

would the 3800 even have enough torque to pull 6th without using 4.56 or higher?

Not without a power adder. Even with one, its going to need some gear in the rear to help it out of the hole.

I put one in an 89 TBI Camaro and it was only beneficial on the highway because I had 4.10s. It adds probably 50 lbs so I would have to lean toward the " Not worth it".
