Currently have a t56 out of an 03 cobra swapped into my 97, but honestly, I'm quite disappointed in it. I swapped it in around March and have been running it all summer.
Upon doing some reading the t56 needs some upgrades to handle 6-700 horse, and even then it's a time bomb if its driven hard. (Which I plan on doing.)
When I swapped in the t56 I was debating on a 6r80, but chose against it only to be somewhat dissatisfied. Knowing Baumann makes a controller and reading other individuals swap threads, it seems to be a fairly straightforward swap across all threads I've read.
The questions I have.
1. Flexplates: What will, and will not work. I've got some spare 8 bolt flex plates from a few Windsor motors I've had laying around. Can these be used, or does it need the coyote plate?
2. Spacer plates: will a 4r70 plate work? If I dont need to buy a 6r80 plate, I wont. Why spend money twice?
3. Shifters: who has done what, and what do you like of it. What would you change?
4. Final drive ratios: my car has a 4.10 final drive. Most likely going to be way too deep. I plan on Turbocharging the car this winter, so I'd like a gear that would load the best, yet be efficient enough to drive on the street with. I'd think a 3.31 or 3.55 would be the best. Am I crazy to think that.
Thank you ahead of time.
