71 turbo-fire 350cid/ TREMEC/Borg-Warner T-56 Hi ls1 tech guys,
I’ve just bought my first classic in the form of a 1963 Chevy C20 pickup, it has a grate 71 small block turbo fire 350 cid with exceptional bodywork, but the gearbox is atrocious, first gear is useless, unless you are planning on pulling stumps out the ground., top gear is appalling, 3200 rpm= 50 mph, I know the rear end is to low (4.57:1) but the gearbox makes it undriveable.
So my question to all you helpful guys out there is, can I fit a TREMEC/Borg Warner T-56 6 speed to my 1971 350 cid and if so, how?
