well, im going to be using the 7.25in tilton tripple plate i got. except ill go with organic discs as ill be driving it on the street. i emailed quartermaster for a quote on making a button flywheel for the 7m. ill let everyone know the price once i have it.

actually they are laser cut. and having the outer portion trimmed is fine by me. just my th400 and t56 outlines are slightly diff even though the bolt holes are exactly identical. anyway, if someone wants to bolt their stiffiner brackets to the plate, its a matter of drilling 4 holes. then they...

ok, ive decided to start another poll based on concerns of the outer diameter of the trans adaptor. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60506 question is, would you rather have the outer diameter the round 19in diamter, or trimmed already for the same outer shape as my...

i didnt make mine stronger. i just said 3/8ths is over kill. it holds the weight of the trans no prob and t56's arnt light at all. while the weight of the trans was supported by that plate, i put the trans in every gear, including reverse and spun it by the output shaft. it spun freely with no...

already been addrss, but its still gay. only forum ive ever seen that requires you to check a box to reply to a thread because of its age. people bitch to use search, then when its used the forum adds extra steps just to reply to the damn thing. regardless, already been covered.

there are only 4 bolt holes on the engine. i dont use the stiffiner plates on my car(also plates for r154 and w58 are diff on one side. i dont recall which side off the top of my head but the bolt holes are in a diff location on the bh for this). also, this plate is strong enough they arnt...

you obviously dont read. the outer section will be trimmed to the bh of the trans. since not all gm transmissions are exactly the same in the outer circumference i left it like this so when i do a group buy it can be trimmed to match the trans exactly. and as for the t56 being strong, mine is an...

ive not seen or heard of the lt1 t56's failing easily. they usually start failing at over 650-700hp from what ive seen. though there are people on ls1tech.com in the 10's on stock lt1 t56's. im only goin for ~550rwhp so i dont think itll be a problem. just trying to hold off goin th400. though i...

because im tired of breaking r154's, and also i want the extra overdrive gear for cruising. 6th is 0.5:1. not sure what you mean by normal. there are lots of diff t56's. this one is an lt1 unit. and ij, dont worry, ive driven solid hub clutches before. shouldnt be to bad, but im gonna buy the...

well, my tripple plate tilton came in today. hehehe.

prolly need more cutting in my mk2 then you would in a mk3.

yeah, i already made the tweaks to the file and emailed it to the place. asked for a 1/16th in thick test piece. and as for the outer portion, i will trim that off with a jigsaw before i use it. did that on purpose as the autos arnt the exact same outer profile. mine isnt anyway, close but not...

well, got the adaptor today, i am pissed. it isnt right. 3 of the bolt holes that bolt to the block are just a hair off. i can easily drill them just a little and they will work. the 4th is off by more then just a simple change in hole size. good news is the dowl holes were perfect and i mean...

it was an lt1 iirc.

cause iirc those ar the only covers made to cover up the coil packs. also, lets people know where the heart came from. those engines arnt cheap at all.

and its complete with a t56

if anything, id build a 377. use the 400 block and use a 3.5in stroke crank for it. they do sell them, cast and forged. id prefere the 400's 4.125in bore (4.155" if you go 30 over) with the shorter stroke. itll rev alot better and have a smoother powerband overall. im thinking of doing this when...

starter will. clutch pedal i doubt it. all starters interchange from 82-92, doesnt matter if turbo or not or if auto or manual. starters are all interchangeable. i think still will work back to 79, but i know for sure from 82-92. 5m, 6m, 7m all use same starter.

never saw that n the thread. just got pissed off when i typed all this stuff up, hit submit and it said its over 107 days old, then i hit back and it was gone. talk about pissed. either way you guys know what i meant. as for moding the tunnel, no, i havent. waiting to do that till the rebuilt...
