Putting a T56 in moves the shifter way back on the floor. Bench seats are needed and there is no room for a console in the middle. I would recommend at least 4.11 gears for the rear. In my 92 with stock gears, 2000 rpm in 6th gear was 90 mph. 1st gear needed to be lower to to get a load started. A T56 makes pickups fun to drive but I wouldn't recomend it if you using it to pull much.

Ketis, that looks nice! I put a T56 in my 92 and the shifter is probably 10" farther back than that. What is the deal?? Mine had a big block in front of it. But I was told the distance from the motor mounts to the back of the motor was the same on a 454 and 350. 454 is only longer in front of the mounts. That not true? Or is it because you have a newer 5.3 moves it forward?

You would need A LOT more gear for 35s! I have 4.88s with roughly 30" tires... Turbogibbs on here has 5.13s with the same size tire. You'll need a lot higher gear to even just get performance back to stock with those big tires.
