    Welcome.
    ahhh, someone else cramming a lsx/t56 in an old truck.
    you will love it.
    Ask away, there are several options and opinions, but not a difficult swap.

    It will be fun to drive when you get it finished.

    From the looks and sounds of things, your project has well surpassed mine.
    Always glad to see someone else adding and lsx with 3 pedals in an old truck.

    haha i wouldnt do that... your going to be asking for Over time to support your expensive habbit soon enough. the thing i noticed is most of the parts you buy either come in kits or are at least 3-400$ a piece haha so save your pennies youll need them. and if you somehow try to budget your swap add a couple thousand on top of what ever you plan lol you'll need it... i promise. and once you start youll never stop so ENJOY!! its well worth it in the end.
