Yeah it will work search for the t56 swap thread. I have done it and loved it. I only swapped it to go 80e and turbo. I was afraid it wouldn't hold up to the power in a heavy *** truck.

What kind of power are you putting down? With a turbo a T56 probably won't last very long in a heavy truck, even if it's built. I have a built T56 now with a turbo, but I've been babying it. I'm going to start getting the parts together for a 4L80E swap just in case.
