T56 in a 2000 Silverado
Ok here is the deal, I am looking at putting a T56 in my 2000 Silverado, 4.8 with a 5 speed. If anyone has done this please let me know what problems that I could run into.

Ok, the 05 chevy SSR comes from the factory with a t56, and that thing weighs 4,746lbs (DAAAAAAM!) I was worried about the t56 handling the weight of the truck when it was designed for lighter weight vehicals. Then I was looking at the weight of the cameros and firebirds (3400's) not to bad. But the ws6 trans am weighs 3,800lbs. My truck weighs 4,200lbs, I think I will be fine. I just bought the 6 speed. I am now waiting on the lq4 to arrive, STS turbo is in the garage, I can't wait. I wonder what clutch I should use spec 3? (spec 3 recommends billet fly wheel) Or should I just save alittle doe and use the Z06 set up? (z06 is alot cheaper)

Looks like I am going to be spending almost a $1000 just for the clutch. I need the clutch preasure plate, spec 3 clutch, TOB, billet fly wheel, new slave, and adjustable master cylinder. DAAAAM! Mo Money, Mo Money! I swour up and down I would not mess with this dam truck when I got it. Dam! OH! the pain!

I am waiting for the motor to get here. It's shipping from boston. The guy has not shipped it yet. It's a lq4, I want to go through it and make sure everything is ok, and change the valve springs and use arp bolts. I have the 6 speed (1998 ls1 m6). I am trying to figure out whitch clutch to use. I figue with the sts turbo, lq4, fmic, 42lbs injectors, walbro fuel pump. I think I should be in the 500-550hp range. I need a good clutch. I dont want to give my left nut for a clutch, I think I may try to just get buy with a billet flywheel and a zo6 clutch. I want the Oz 700 clutch, but that is 900+. So did you figure out the flywheel issue? How did the swap go? Any other complications?
