Ls3
Hi,
Does anybody have an ls3 engine with a t5 gearbox. Is it compatible ? And if so, can it handle the torque. Greetings |
I don't know for certain on whether or not it will bolt up, but I don't think so. As far as being able to handle the power I don't think you will have much luck with it unless you never get on it. The T-5 has a max torque rating of around 300 if I remember correctly. Now I'm sure if you really wanted to use the T-5 you could get away with it for a while, but it wouldn't last for much spirited driving.

A T5 will not handle the torque. A T56 6 speed or a TKO-600 would be better choices. |
a built T5 will still break under 6.2L of torque -there are so many LSs in the secondary market, - you can find a nice T56 and have six speeds of freedom like we do.
the TKO can bolt up, but it at it heart is a chunky shifting soviet era box. |
The more I read about engines,the more confused I get.
My first choise was a 383 cui, for the idle sound and performance:cool: Later I thought about an ls3 for the weight reduction and performance, But these engines are not so common in Europe. Now a car wreck companie has an ls2 with gearbox coming for sale soon. What would I buy New 383, an ls3 new,or a used ls2 I think the 383 will be the easy fit,as for the ls engines you have to fit all the electrical components and accelerant pedal.( efi) This is a difficult choice ? Please help me out |
