We install a L92 engine out of a 2008 Escalade and T56 Magnum transmission from American Powertrain. Complete with a Texas Speed LS3 NA Stage 2 cam kit.

[@FXrider-nl1ch]

I’m about to do this EXACT swap in the exact truck. Good, informative video. Thank you.

[@1lowextcab196]

Any way to get this same setup with automatic transmission? And how much is the total cost of the whole swap?

[@user-manny43]

Just rebuilt my 4l60e. Looks like the previous owner had it rebuilt also. If it goes I’ll be doing the swap also

[@juancalderon4552]

You think you can send all the links for the parts used in this motor and transmission

[@Scandalous3pedals]

Just finishing up t56 mag swap like this and was wondering what clutch line you used to go from factory location hookup(gold quick connect) to new location near the bellhousing? I'm going to a Tick performance clutch master but not for a few months and would like to put some break in miles on my triple clutch setup. Line length,part number etc. Tha ks

Thanks for sharing

I want to swap out my 4l80e for a tr6060 , how would I be able to make it work? In need of help thanks ! Got the nv3500 clutch pedal&assembly, and master cylinder

I hope my husband helped you out by letting everyone know how to do this swap perfect

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

Huh?

[@slowride1973]

@@Zero2SixtyPerformance we started our truck build like 5 years ago and we had a lot of questions on how to do this build and we was the first to make a shifter boot and make it look like it was factory..thats all i was saying.

[@aubreyroche5080]

I just bought a 2005 2500 HD Silverado 4x4 6.0 with the 4L80E and really want to do the Manual Trans, been looking at the T56.. But, I still want the 4x4..

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

Unfortunately there is not an off the shelf way to do this. Every one that has been completed has used some sort of a fabricated adapter to the transfer case.

[@menacehobbies9337]

I’m doing this swap in my rcsb with an lm7 and t56 mag and have a few questions. What clutch and bell housing did you use? And what master cylinder and slave did you use? Thanks

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

Stock LS1 Bellhousing (12453263). Atomic Fab master cyl bracket with stock master (atomicfabandperformance.com/product/99-06-clutch-mounting-bracket/). Stock LS1 flywheel with ACT Pressure Plate (GM015) and Disk (3000909). Stock slave cylinder with a large shim from Tick Performance (www.tickperformance.com/tick-performance-slave-cylinder-shim-kit-3-pack/)

[@menacehobbies9337]

Ok thanks man. I’ve been working on mine for about 6 months and I can’t figure out why the clutch won’t disengage. Extremely frustrating but I’ll see if these are the parts I need and get to ordering. I’m using the 5 speed mc and wondering if that could be my problem. I bought a oem fbody slave and clutch but I think they sent the wrong clutch box the numbers don’t match up. So I ordered a luk oem clutch the other day. Waiting on it to come in now

Im doing this same swap t56/ls3 if I get the box from American powertrain for the reverse lock out, where does it splines to? The speed sensor , or somewhere in the harness. Thanks in advance for the info

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

Speed sensor

[@ALSHAHRANII]

Did this engine come with fuel return line? Or just one line from the tank to the engine?

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

Single return less line

Yes

I believe we used a Melling pump in this. 40-50psi

[@jdix0009]

I have a T56 magnum to install in my 2004 Silverado RST. Can you give me the dimensions for the driveshaft that you used in this truck? Or put me in touch with the maker so that I can order one? I would like to have a driveshaft ready to install when I do the trans swap. Thanks,

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

No sir I do not unfortunately

[@6.2_angel51]

Hello, I have a question. I have a l92 that I want to swap in a 2006 Silverado. I’m not sure what type of harness could I use. Could a 2006 Silverado harness work with the l92?

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

The 2006 harness will work. You need a cam/crank adapter harness, injector adapters and knock sensor relocation harness.

[@53cj3a]

how did you get the shifter location so far forward on the tunnel? In other videos i see the shifter coming out much closer to the seats

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

We changed the location of the shifter.

[@josearias8433]

Is there a link to the shifter relocation kit? Having trouble finding one

[@joaquin4.867]

What did you use for the t56 wiring harness?

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

If you are talking about the reverse lock out, we used a module from American Powertrain

[@1_slow4.89]

I’m doing this swap on the same truck but mine is 4wd and I’m planning to delete the 4wd. Do you know if the transmission mount points are the same or is it different since I had the tcase?

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

Either way you will have to modify the crossmember so I dont think its going to matter but to answer your question, I believe the crossmembers are different for 4wd to 2wd

Is the box optional

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

The box is optional however, you will still need to do something for a reverse lock out. The box is nice because it works off a VSS signal just like the factory pcm would. You could simply hook it up to a 12v switched circuit like the brake pedal to activate the solenoid. You would then have to be on the brakes to go into reverse.

[@planedr]

$3300!? Fuck me, I guess I fucked up passing up one for $1800 with trans. I just did a 4.3 to 5.3 swap.

[@JohnSmith-qn5ib]

ZL1

[@JohnSmith-qn5ib]

We’re they direct fit? I have a l92 with long tube headers, 224 cam, Holley sniper efi sheet metal intake but I have stock fuel injectors 30s. My tuner told me I need bigger fuel injectors. He said 50s. But am thinking ls3 or maybe zl1. What you think?

Hey! I'm actually doing a similar swap. Would love to reach out and get some pointers on what all I need. I've got the trans, front shift relocated, bellhousing. I know I will need a drive shaft from a 4l60e? And something to block out reverse?

[@Zero2SixtyPerformance]

The Magnum uses a larger yoke than the 4L60e. You can get one right from Summit. You will need a reverse lockout box as well. We used one from American Powertrain on this car. Also available from Summit pn ELUN-10013
