Welcome to the site.

Please post Tech questions in the Tech sections. New Members section is for introduction to the site.

A lot of people like the T56 IIRC. I run auto so not sure. Try searching the GM Drivetrain section.

Welcome to the site, and no a corvette 6 speed will not work in your truck without heavy modification. Look for one out of a viper, camaro, or an SSR truck.

Good luck on the six speed. problems you will run into is speedo and cruise control issues. Depending on which motor you have helps a lil. but yes camaro/ trans am ones are the easiest to swap.

Yes, the tuner should be able to take care of those issues.

Here is the T56 swap thread: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=381877

There's plenty of us doing/having done the swap, so feel free to ask away and we'll get your questions answered.

In a truck I'd use a ZF S650 transmission, but good luck finding one...
