Has anybody done an LS1/T56 swap in one of these trucks? If so any tips? When I do the swap, I wanna just pick up a crashed Camaro/Firebird so I have all of the mechanicals. Does anyone make a kit for this swap? How much massaging will I have to do to the trans tunnel to for the T56 to fit?

Anything else I haven't asked?

 

I am just finishing a similar swap to an 86 Toyota pickup. Exhaust routing has been the largest problem because the chassis gets so narrow up front. I used the LS1 adapter plates on the block and then bolted up SBC solid motor mounts. They then mounted to the factory engine mounts on the truck. No welding. I just looked at a B2000 and it looks similar. My 2004R fit with no problems, not sure about your T56 but I'll bet you have minimum clearance issues. Good luck. These little trucks sure are light.

pics?I bet they are crazy fast or a hellofa tire fryer

 

That sounds awesome! Sounds like a fairly easy conversion.

 

I saw a SBC swap in one so it will fit. I have a '91 B2600 4x4 I've been thinking about putting an LS1 in.

 

What else should I look/watch out for?
