Re: TKO 600 swap

Good choice on the T56...lots of support for all generations of that trans in the forums.

We went with factory style hydraulic throwouts on the trucks. Both of them are running the TR6060 (OEM) version of the T56 so I'm not positive on bell housing lengths between TR6060 and T56 -- You might have to do some shimming if you go these routes:

Blue Truck - This is basically a stock 5th gen Camaro motor/trans so its got factory clutch and TOB in it.

Cannonball - With the increased power of the built LS motor, I went with a Lingenfelter kit which adapts the twin disc Sachs clutch from the ZR1 Corvette to a standard LS 6-bolt crank via a custom flywheel. This also comes with the ZR1 hydraulic throwout...which required some adaptation of the fluid hardlines coming out of it 😊. This clutch is actually quite amazing considering how much abuse we put it through while trying to get the motor properly tuned.
