I was just curious, has anyone put a T56 into a 5.3 silverado? would it fit?
i was going to put in a mad dog transmission but i like manuals a lot more than automatics and i was just wondering if i could maybe toss a T56 in there instead. i know it would take a lot more work doing the conversion but it just might be worth it.

 

vanillagorilla, 1truess, xrevx1, and retsell have done it, maybe more.

Here's some good threads to check out...
