Chevrolet C3 Corvette LS Swap 6 Speed Manual Transmission Swap at V8 Speed and Resto Shop Part 2

https://www.v8speedshop.com/contact Chevrolet C3 Corvette LS Swap 6 Speed Manual Transmission Swap at V8 Speed and Resto Shop Part 2 This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible came to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop in need of some serious power, performance, and reliability upgrades. This C3 Corvette was powered by a non-original and well worn 350 cubic inch V8 backed by a Muncie 4 speed manual transmission. The goal was a Corvette LS Swap to add modern power to this C3 Corvette. A C3 Corvette LS Swap seems to be a simple job at first glance, but the more you investigate, you'll see that a C3 Corvette LS Swap isn't quite so simple.

For example, the 1969 C3 Corvette's headlight doors are not working, and the windshield wiper door was also broken. These items rely on vacuum for power, and they wear out over time. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team elected to install a Detroit Speed Corvette Headlight Motor conversion and a Detroit Speed Windshield Wiper conversion as well. These convert the vacuum systems to electric headlight motors and an electric wiper door. Next, The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team addresses the fitment issue of the LS3 V8 swap, as well as the steps needed to perform a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed manual transmission swap into the C3 Corvette. The challenges included fitting the off-center LS3 engine under the hood, as well as fitting the Tremec 6 speed manual transmission into the C3 Corvette chassis. We sourced our LS swap engine from GM Performance Parts, and a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed manual transmission, clutch, bellhousing, and shifter from Modern Driveline. Next time, The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team fabricates a custom transmission tunnel to accommodate the Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission, and the LS3 swap continues with special motor mounts to mount the LS3 engine. The engine will be installed along with a Holley LS front accessory drive system and more.
