Engine swap going in a new direction
 

so as some of members here may know, my friend and old roommate has a 2010 evo X. He did a bunch of work over the years. Unfortunately last week on rt 78, someone rear ended him and totalled the car. He bought it back knowing I part out cars.

After checking out the car and thinking about it, we've decided to swap the turbo 4 cyl into my 88 GTA. i know there will be haters but oh well.

I need to know how i would go about getting(most likely having custom made) a bellhousing that'll bolt to an ls1 t56. I saw on the tv show GEARS where they bolted a porsche trans to an ls7 so it should be possible.

any leads?

Putting the Getrag transaxle on a SBC/BBC or LSx is really pretty common at this point. Mating a Japanese engine to an American trans, I would think, is not so common.

Most likely you'd have to get a special adapter that will bolt your LS T56 bell to the Evo engine, not a special bellhousing. The Getrag bell is bolted to an adapter and that is bolted to the LSx

LOL. Sadly, not an absurd or unusual question from Idea Man II even on April 1. :rofl:

Exactly

Call Bob's automotive In Harrison.

I know he does bellhousing from Bmw engines to t56's....

I was thinking that actually, lol... I was gonna say a ford 4.6 motor but chose the evo instead

if this thread isnt for teh lulz

i would expect nothing less from V, always great ideas

:shock: my prayers have been answered.

Oh, and for the record... the GTA will be getting an LS1 / T56.
I have the drivetrain already, just waiting to buy the swap parts and a heads/cam package.
