SBC R32 Beleivers only plz

If you go 6 spd get a Viper T56 don't waste your time with other versions of the tremac. I have a Hutch Built TH400 with reverse gear,transbrake and everything else to go 6.90 sitting in my garage let me know lol.

I don't think he'll have any problem with a 93-97 f-body T56 (that bolts right up with no modifications) behind a warmed over L98. It would still be cheaper to get a f-body trans and have it rebuilt with a viper 3-4 fork than to actually buy a viper trans for a sub 300hp motor.

That setup will not make enough power to utilize a powerglide, are you only planning to drag race? Because having a 2 speed in a street car sucks anyway if you plan to drive the thing anywhere. If you're hellbent on a auto trans then you should at the minimum use a TH350, personally I'd use a slightly built version of the 700r4 the motor came with so you can have overdrive for the street...

hahaha this car is deffinetly not going to be a daily driver (car meets and Racecity), Id like to run it down the track for a bit with the 2 speed then probably slap a T56, like you said, into it to and have some sideways fun!! PS. When the engine is finished it will defenitly be running alot better then stock

vdub: I would actually really like to put a 2 speed power glide with a "minor" stall. that would make me happy. Speeddm: I didnt mean it to sound that way, all I was trying to say is thats how i type it. I myself dont find it boring hahaha just knowing that it boils some peoples blood is good enough for me! 4wd is a totally diffrent project!!!



Pics from before the block had a chemical bath!

More pics to come!!

I'm siding with the nissan factory on this one.

but I support v8 imports and I hope your skyline comes to fruition.

I find it interesting how you come to a Skyline forum searching for approvals and advice. Then you try to tell the people in the community that its a RB2.0. So then I guess I must have a RB2.6DETT and be building a RB3.0DET. I guess Mercedes must have missed the . when they named the E55.

You have an interesting project and you will have allot of people who respect the project you will also have a bunch of haters. To me the combo is boring. But I can respect the project because of the work that will go into it. Especially if the execution is well done and not hacked.

What would turn the car into a killer is 4wd. Buy mcflys trans adapter for the t-case that he had built for a turbo 400. build an adapter for a GTR pan, dry sump.

For the record its and RB20

For a trans I'd recommend a 93-97 F-body Borg Warner T56 6 speed. The 4 speed is out dated and will severely limit your street-ability (4th gear is 1:1 so you'd have crazy RPMs on the hiway) it's also not a top loader style trans so the linkage will be a hassle to say the least, and the T5 5 speed that came in the 3rd gens wont hold any reasonable amount of power without it's internals becoming external. You can usually score a t56 for about 7-800ish in good shape if you hunt around, and it's proven to be a strong and reliable trans at the power levels you're looking at.

there is a couple skyline shells here in lethbridge at 4xtoys.

and i know ALOT about skylines you dont need to lecture me lol. the proper term is rb20. but it is 2.0 liter or 1998cc's.

btw its just RB20. not RB2.0.

First of all it is RB2.0 2.0 stands for the displacment it doesnt have a disp. of 20L its 2.0L, Ive got the engine but no car thats why i came here to see if i could get help and kinda know what i gotta expect when i go balls deep! ive only got shitty pics of the power plant but now ima have to put them up! The trns.RSI i was hoping to use was a 2 speed powerglide but a friend is really pushin for the small 4 speed most ppl go with for Third gen maros Im going to stop replying to the ppl posting about lsX i would love it too but obviuosly i dont have that oppption! ENGINE PICS TONIGHT!!!!!

The Holley stealth ram is a great upgrade for the TPI motors, and much more useful than the SLP plenum/runners setup IMO. But if you're on a budget they are kinda pricey unless you can find a used setup. You can actually modify and use a LT1 intake on the L98 with a bit of work, it's cheaper (intakes go for 50 bucks, 200 if already modded) and flows nearly as well as the HSR and WAY more than any TPI based setup would. The reason I was pushing the LS1 is not because I'm a LSx nutswinger that thinks it's the end all be all of engines, I've just spent a lot of money in the wrong direction before only to regret it later. Even if the L98 was free, a budget rebuild/freshening with machine work is usually 1000+, Vortec heads 500, HSR 6-900, Injectors 250-350, cam 300, headers 400, custom prom burn 200, etc...
It adds up QUICK and you'll end up producing about the same as a bone stock LS1 if you're lucky, with a shittier powerband. Again, just my .02, I know I regret spending as much as I did instead of just going with the more modern Gen III powerplant. Again, I really hope you move forward with this, I'd love to see it happen!

The LT1 intake is also another way to go Ive never really checked into it but will now thank you I defanitly wont go with vortec heads 113s would be my way of going(most of the aftermarket intakes wont work with vortec heads from what ive heared over at Thirdgen.org) once again your $.02 is always welcomed and i will for sure try to move forward but it will be a slow proccess due to the fact that i am a perfectionist lol
