Another V8 Swap

[DustinS]

I have reason to believe ABS may work... Ton of leaves on the road and coming to a stop, I felt the pedal pulse right at the end. Going to do a bit more testing, but that would be a nice surprise. Cruise Control Definitely doesn't work still lol.

When it comes to subframe/steering rack clearance issues..what's the issue exactly?

The bracing on the back of the oil pan hits the steering rack

Friendly Play time on an empty highway...

Camera car is 2016 Camaro SS. Looks like they dyno a little over 400whp.

Sorry for quality. Gets the point across though.

Got invited to Play with a Hellcat the other night. I was pretty close. Third he didn't pull at all, once I shifted to 4th he started slowly pulling ahead.

Bad News: Vibration is back and I can't find it anywhere. I had it up on stands and ran it up to 80 mph. You could feel the vibration in the car slightly, but I couldn't see it anywhere. I am going to switch the wheels on a suggestion that it might still be them. Hopefully my other 5x100 wheels with tires still have decent tread left.

Kind of seriously looking at turbos. Maybe a LSA/ZL1 blower....

too lazy to go over the entire thread, but you did attend to the driveshaft phasing right?

...gear box shaft center-line and diff pinion center-line parallel but offset from each other.

Using Vorshlag Mounts. So it is set by them and multiple people with the mounts are not having the issues. That being said, Has been measured and it is correct.

And the second a turn came into view he was off in the weeds

Well I was just kind of joking around and posted the idea of a Twin Turbo AWD LS Swapped FRS. I have been toying around the idea of going turbo because it sounds fun. AWD was more a joke, but the more I look at it, the more It may work (with some cutting involved).

The biggest issue right now is what transmission/transfer case and front diff. The Trailblazer SS front Oil Pan just so happens to be front sump and has the clearance for the front diff. So maybe adapt the transfer case to fit the back of the T56?

Current Oil Pan:



Vorshlag Oil Pan:



TBSS:



The back would need cut and moved up to clearance for cross member. A custom tubular cross member may be the best way to go about it.

So if the transfer case can be mated to the t56 I already have, and I don't have to cut too much out of the trans tunnel to clear the transfer case/front drivesahft. Next is the steering rack/steering shaft possibly being in the way.

There is a Syclone running around with a T56 custom mated to a Transfer case used for road course. So it a possibility. Just the work that needs to be done. I will just have to keep collecting knowledge and parts until this is something I attempt.

I have considered this as well. The phone number on the side of the transmission is the number of the guy who built it.

It would be ridiculously awesome. A lot of cutting and clearanceing to make it work but of course it can be done....front subframe, transmission tunnel, shifter, front hubs, front axles...what else?

[DustinS]

Exhaust would be somewhat tricky as you are using up more room than is really available with the transfer case and driveshaft. There is the AWD RB26 swapped car. So it is possible, just how much work is the question. Something I might start acquiring parts for and see how far i actually get with it.

Haha. Oh yeah exhaust...through the hood or put the radiator out back and put your exhaust up front like some others have done or widen that tunnel even more haha
