I just had an idea hit me that seems so simple that there must be some reason it won't work or surely someone else would have mentioned it:

What about just using a 1999 (?) crankshaft that had the longer length giving the same distance from the block face to the crank flange as the traditional chevrolet v8's??

Could I just use my LT1 t56 with the stock bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, hydraulics, etc.???

Either this is a great idea or I'm about to get shot down with a reason why.

(Posted in another thread, but it fits here also.)

Its been tried with the LT1 T56..doesnt work..flywheel's dont work, different bolt pattern..then you have to figure out the Slave setup you want..all kinds of issues.

Well there hasn't been any real activity here in awhile on Matt's part, and for good reason. As some may know, he's been busy with finishing his degree and just went through finals. He's graduating with a 4.0 so....

Congrats buddy!

please post up the pics matt of that turbo setup. Is that the one that is being advertised on the forced induction forum?

I'm waiting......lol

I'd really like to see how my car on the bottle would stack up against your turbo at like 7 lbs though. Probably futile, but I think it would be interesting.

I mean, you know I'm running that "super secret" cam....lol

MattSapp95_T/A

No I am running a pieced together setup.... 2.25 hot side with ceramic coated truck manifolds and v bands....

Brog Warner turbo 75mm comp wheel 87mm turbine wheel
TurboSmart Waste Gate

ebay Cold side and intercooler...etc...

Nothing too special...should make around 750ish to the back tires...

I will get some pics in just a few I promise!!

Super Secret cam is right!! and proven 570hp to the crank

Just think of all you could have gotten done on your car if you weren't studying!

Congrats on the 4.0. Sounds like you have a lot of **** going.

Its a custom ground EPS cam! Hit up "93Z2871805" on the specs since I sold it to him I don't want to give anything out unless he is good with it!

Thank you Sir!! Yours looks great too!

LOL I know I would have had the car done! But on the other hand I will have more money to spend on it now..!! Its bitter sweet!!

Updates coming I SWEAR!!!

Ya know I got a degree n good grades n I don't have **** except student loans and a half done car hahaha I wanna know where the **** you guys are getting the good paying jobs to be able to do all this. Cuz I got no problem moving. But anywho matt your car is gonna be running like a raped ape when it's done n I'd love to see the setup when it's complete

Rabble

Merv, that *** end is going to be super light as is. The stock v6 will spin the rear wheels easily, let alone an ls1. I wouldn't bother with a snail, as you would never hook. If you're going for a smoke show, you already have more than enough with the v-8 swap. My .02

Thats why you go to the scrap yard hunting and find an AWD Safari van and transplant the front diff and transfer case so it will hook. My buddy has a early S10 with a L98 Twin Turbo AWD setup. Works and hooks like hell... if only he could get the thing to run at the potential it should be at with the bullshit tpi ecm.
