5.3 in a 71 C10
5.3 in a 71 C10 I'm going to be starting a swap in to a 71 C10 Long box.
Most of the swaps with these that I see use an Auto, but I'm planning on using the 5 speed manual that came with my swap motor. Has any one done this?
Thanks.

I have no idea about the 5 speed trans, but i know there are lots of guys that have used the T56 6 speed, so i would assume it is very similar. I'm doing a 6.0 swap in my 70 C-10 right now, good luck.
I am planning the same thing only with the 3 speed tranny... As of yet I have no idea how to get the tranny to mate up. Everything else seems straight forward.
Keep us posted.
Also www.67-72chevytrucks.com has lots of swap info.

I am a little lost on that as well. The only LSx truck manuals were the 6 speed with granny 1st as far a I know. At least for the HD trucks... Maybe a stripper 4.8 1500 series could come with a 5 speed???

Guess I'll find out when the heads come off. The piston tops should be different from what I've read.
I also wanted to make the column shift 3 speed work, but the deal I got for the motor, trans, harness, and ecu I might as well use it all.
