56 L92 T-10 build started
Well Im going to start tearing into this thing! What Im working with..... I have a 1956 3100 Body mounted onto a 1984 C10 chassis. Im not the one that did the swap but its mine now and needs lots of things fixed. The guy who did the swap just pretty much threw it together, Im only assuming he had intentions of taking all back apart for paint and fixing some crap work. The truck came with a 350 SBC and TH350, not my cup of tea, Im a LS engine nut. So the fun begins.
I managed to find a killer deal on a 2013 Escalade L92 with a 6L80E pull out. Its being shipped out from MN somewhere, should have it in a week or so. I thought about using the 6l80E but I plan to delete the DOD on the L92 and add a pretty nasty cam. I don't want to spend $800 on a stall and deal with surging issues and tuning problems, so I plan to mount a super T-10 4 speed and use a LS clutch and flywheel with a hydraulic throwout bearing setup. Well this is just the start and Im always open to input and ideas. I like the idea of sharing a build so others may learn and getting the chance to learn from what others have to share. I plan to update as often as I can. Here she is when I bought it a few months ago [IMG][/IMG] Pulled the old crap out [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] New power coming! [IMG][/IMG] |

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Very nice man. I like it. Good luck on the build.
I just got a LQ4 for my Cameo and plan on doing a healthy cam and the bottle. What you gonna do with the 6L80?

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
It definitely will be lots of fun. I'm excited for mine and having the bigger truck motor to start with.
What you asking for the trans?

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Looks like the big window cab is a tosser! The only thing worth while is maybe a big window conversion. Is this really as tuff as I think it is? Can't really pass up the big window donor cab at $300

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
I bought the big window cab, only thing worth it was the window. I cut it out and will graft it in sometime in the future, pics soon.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
When I read the beginning of your first post, and saw that it was chassis-swapped, my first thought was "God I hope he fixed the wheel/axle alignment". So chassis-swapped trucks end up with the wheels offset strangely, or the axle too far forward or aft in the well.
Your first pick with the black wheels showed signs of the same problem, but then I scrolled down another few inches and saw the new setup. HUGE difference. Those chrome wheels look way better in terms of fitment/stance. I think they might actually look good black, but that depends on your final vision for the build. Nice work dude.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Thanks for the compliment, they are actually polished billet. Built to your specs as a customer so the offset was made to order. As for the wheel finer front to rear in the wheel well, it's not perfect but then again nothing is!
Quick question, I found a killer deal on a 1998 C3500 Hydroboost setup. I should be able to make this work on my 56 Cab with a few fab tools? I'm hoping I can just T into the low pressure return line on the L92 Powersteering pump. Thoughts? |

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Should work fine, grab the booster along with the unit. You'll need to mod/fab a bracket for it to bolt to the firewall, and possibly mod the rod to the pedal for proper length and engagement.

Re: 56 L92 T-10 build started
Few Updates
Got my new RCI Aluminum tank, will have to cut a hole to add a walbro 255 intank fuel pump. I'm not a fan of external pumps, too noisy and not much life out of them. Any ideas on putting a tank inside? [IMG][/IMG] Added a external fuel door, I will end up installing a wood bed above my C-Notch bridge. I will run a chunk of hose from the the fuel door over the Jaz fill port. [IMG][/IMG] Start the firewall smooth out [IMG][/IMG] Big Window cut out [IMG][/IMG] |
