Some people had ask for pics of the t56 shifter location a while back. Just thought I might post a couple. Forgive the mess though... interior is super dirty. Guages, wideband, and shifter location.

damn man can you take a pic that is further back to show what the entire interior looks like. It looks pimp good job.

retsell

Sure, but its really dirty right now. Give me a couple minutes.

The shifter works fine where it's at, but I don't like the long throw, even with the pro 5.0 (due to the longer shifter "handle") I'm going to machine a couple pieces to raise the shifter and shorten the throw.

Nothing good. I ran a 14.3 with the stock truck and the blower on it. Dyno'd at only 390 ft/lb of torque before I ran that. (had some issues I had to work through.

Then I added boost, manual trans, gears, posi, headers and dyno'd at 542 ft/lb of torque and ran a 14.7 (I forget the MPH's) but I do remember getting 2.7 60' times (obviously terrible), but I did find that the gears are way too low, and with that much power I must have slicks, espcially at our local track, its super slick. On the street the truck is nuts. Last night I was goofing off and could break the tires loose at almost 80mph. I also know I'm running too much boost. Brian is recommending I go back up to a larger pulley (less boost) and add more timing to get more power. I'm also detonating at high engine loads (too much boost) so I need to get it down some. I just bought a house a couple months ago, so I've been spending a bunch of dollars on house stuff so the trucks been put off a bit. Now it needs some maintenance so it's time to find out what kind of clutch to go with, and i'm going to go back with a 3.73 gear. I've got enough power, there's not since in the low gears.

Work, school, spending all my money on the house. It's winter time now, so my work slows down, but unfortunately so does the money... But i've got to get a clutch (whether the money's there or not) so here I am. Lots of new faces around here. Kinda nice getting on here bragging again. lol.

Welcome back

It's bagged, so the stance changes. The one mod I do regret. Horsepower and airbags don't mix. Oh well.

Thanks for the + comments.

That is sweet as hell. I've been wanting to do a T56 swap but didn't know how to make the interior look like I wanted to. I don't want to get rid of my center seat but I just may for that look. I could get the center console and seats out of a totalled Tahoe. Now did the shifter just happen to be in that perfect spot or did you have to modify the shifter in some way?

Need those answers, plus how is the reach? The shifter looks like it would be a little too low to be comfortable.

Wow man, that looks factory, nice job. I'm also curious how the reach is...
