Obviously bringing my thread count up (lol) but what seems to be the best tranny trends for an fc/ls swap for weight savings? Looking at ls2 stock 400hp with either t2 rear or a ford 8.8. Thank you for your opinions

 

Seek out norotors.com for answers to your swap. You'll get lots of pro/con for your question and it will ultimately be a matter if personal choice. For me, t56

 

Well I guess I'll give you my opinion. I have ran a 540hp LS1 and now the car runs a 660hp 429LS3. I recommend running the T-56. I also recommend running a decent aftermarket clutch with a billet steel flywheel.

The T2 diff is fine, but you have to build a custom drive shaft so you are better off running the ford 8.8. The T2 diffs are very expensive to build and gear ratios are limited. I have the ford 8.8 (tbird diff) with cobra 31 spline internals, DSS chromoly axles, Detroit truetrac, ford racing 3.73 gears. You can pm me if you have any other questions. I have build 2 of these LS swapped Rx7s as well as helped a friend with his.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

^^^I like!! Darkside is strong with this one.

 

+1 on the T56. Most of the swapped Rx's around here run it.

 

Very nice fc3sls1! Thank you all for your insight, It is appreciated. My research continues... have an awsome day

 

Loving this forum already. searching for parts to piece together a strong 8.8... good progress.

 

No problem. Glad I could help!
