Project--------------- 6 Speed Tahoe
OK, been contemplating this for some time, so I guess I'll do a build thread and see how it goes. The original engine/drivetrain has over 240,000 miles so the entire thing needs to be rebuilt/updated.
Goal:
Get the Tahoe to perform (straight line) about like a stock LS2 GTO, CTS-V1 or Bolton 4th gen Fbody.
Plan of attack:
5.13 Rear Gears
Convert to 2WD and drop 400-500 lbs in process
T56 Swap
Fresh 6.0 Engine w/ Ported heads, full exhaust, boltons etc..
I got most everything needed for the rear gears and T56 swap.
Here is the old girl in all her glory,,, at 5480 lbs. She's a big girl but I still think she's pretty good looking.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
