When I went to order the Holley cross member, I specifically asked the operator if the member was for a TR6060. Website listed the T56 as for use. So based on operator input, he stated it would, so i ordered it. After getting it, it mounts about 6-8 inches more forward than where the factory TR6060 mounts. After some frustrations, as this was a quick build, I decided to use the main cross member brace and make my own brackets for mounting.

Keep in mind, I was literally taking the drive train from a 2015 camaro and dropping it into my S10.

Frame is complete. Now I'm tearing it completely apart for powder coating. Pics coming soon... Oh, I'm going deeper than most.

looks like a nice build you have going on. I am kind of surprised the shifter was not further back, it seems in a good spot.

I trimmed about .500 inch off the back side edge towards the rear of the cab, to give me more clearance. Keep in mind, I am using a shifter relocation kit from Silver Sport Trans. This eliminated the far rear shifter point used in the camaro.

That's really slick! Did you build it, or buy it?

I bought the housing from a friend, whom bought it new and never did anything with it. Saved a money there. I had a used 3rd member, just needed rebuilt. So I took it all to MOSER Engineering. Dropped it off, had them build it and bought the disc brake conversion kit for it.

Done in 2 weeks.

Family member used same setup for drag racing behind 700+ HP and no issues. So I figure I'm good on stock LS3. (I like overkill)...lol

I have a stock 98 ZQ8 truck that I bought new and have been wanting to do a 6.0 in for the last 20yrs. The truck is in great shape and it deserves a V8. I watching your build.

If your saw in my earlier posts, I bought a drop out package from a 2015 camaro. With that, I am running the stock camaro ECM and getting a wire harness from Current Performance.
