You got the equivalent of a Jerico for $800?!?! That's awesome. I paid way more for a rebuilt T56.

No kidding. Converting from my T5 to a T56 cost me over $2500.

Yeah I did, its not a perfect transmission since it needs some work, apparently through some sort of mishap he broke the input shaft at the 3rd gear snap ring, however that is possible i dont know. But he ordered a new mainshaft which is supposed to be a 26sp billet treated shaft, the rest of the gears looks untouched and I have a buddy who is friends with the owner of g-force who said he'll reassemble the tranny for $100. Here are some pictures of the carnage, not really carnage though

You can see all the other gears are untouched as it looks like a very clean break

So ive been told tomorrow morning is the day....




Unfortunately i'd give it a truly realistic year before the car runs with this engine losing my tranny really fucked me...
So i'll focus on getting the other car done since i need a comfortable backup car, and i have everything to assemble that one.

Sweeet. Looks like it's coming together nicely. I'm trying to save up cash to purchase another 5.0 (Got a 3$ raise at work! XD). Can't live without one. Hands down the most fun vehicle i have owned.

I'm planning on parking my SVO and daily driving the 5.0 while i bring the SVO up to snuff. Purchase a decent interior, new turbo, fmic, painless wiring harness, and megasquirt. Then once it's done the SVO will become my daily while i learn how to build an engine with my Uncle who's a nuclear engineer in the Navy! We'll see how that works out.
