It's only expensive if the problem is not fixed. You've got a world class trans in that car now and it will give excellent service. I think the T-56 and it's later derivative, the Tremec 6060 are about the best six speed manuals ever built. I've driven both and I cannot recall anything being better than them. Congrats on the project, and have fun!
I love that car it’s powered by American ingenuity...that’s the best part well it doesn’t look that bad either, knew it was the trans it’s a shame they are so pricey... I haven’t realized internal gears ect have gotten expensive. Great video
@@matt13ross How much front axle weight did the swap add? The drawback of the American V8 engines is their weight (a significant impact on balance) and fuel consumption (outdated technology). Sure they are cheap and powerful but not without drawbacks. Personally I would prefer the S85. Nice build though.
I crushed my girlfriend's hand while she was helping me in a very similar fashion of what I see here. Having a girl who's willing to get involved with our projects, that's the dream, but now we are more conscious about how we do things. We are talking about building a similar car to get into endurance racing together, this videos had a role in this idea, love your content
1,...when u get weldurz?? wish i had known, i would have suggested prime weld. excellent products. but not bad for a hf equipment. their helmets are horrible, though. i got a (slightly) better one, a lincoln unit, from home depot that works a little better but the auto darken still goes a bit wonky on that one as well. will probably go spendy and get a professional hood. 2,...ryobi tools are fantastic, but the grinder is not their best. using the upgraded battery (3x, i think??) makes it better, but still way underpowered for serious work. it's handy, mind you, but i grab my other corded units when doing more serious stuff. i also got the metal shears and sorta wish i hadn't. nibblers are much better, or get the right and left hand snips and use those (not that you are going to fab stuff, just general info...) 3,...that wear looks awful and would suggest to me that there is something not quite aligned correctly causing the output shaft to run off centered. 4,...have to take off now, but will watch the rest of the vid on my break. looking forward to possibly seeing this in person at bfe or some other northeast meetup.
I actually got the welder for free. It works fine but only has 4 settings plus wire speed. I def need a better helmet. I love my Ryobi stuff, but will probably be making the switch to Milwaukee. They make so many more automotive tools that Ryobi doesn't. I'm hoping there is a BFE soon!
Just an opinion, but I build driveshafts for a living, we have customers in the circle track racing world that use the Sonnax billet yokes, and one customer had problems with them getting hot and the barrel expanding inside the transmission and would snap the carbon fiber driveshaft. Not sure why yours had an uneven wear on the barrel, just a theory 🤷♂️
@@matt13ross well GoPro Hero 4 it's not bad still good enough for 2021 , you need chest GoPro mount and this the link :www.amazon.com/dp/B07G3119HY/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_glt_fabc_P6BMSQ1QX6TB2XFE9SDY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
My money is on improperly installed internals on the transmission. Mainly synchros. Also, bro... Those "welds" are.. interesting. A grinder is your friend though with stuff like this. It reduces the surface area of the weld in turn reducing the places for rust to take hold when your paint chips. Welding is not easy to pick up and you are starting with pipes that are harder to weld so solid effort. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/5KrwmK7df-s/w-d-xo.html. I am a school-trained welder and I continue to watch this dude's videos to brush up on technique.
Welds were fine on this old exhaust, at least good enough to not leak, which was the goal. Whoever welded it before me didn't have great looking welds either. The exhaust isn't permanent for this car so NBD. I am planning on practicing and upgraded my welding skills and tools in the future though.
@@matt13ross Totally agree. You'll be good with these on an exhaust lol. You just need to slow down and let that puddle build up a bit. Those boogers you have going are because you are pulling the puddle before it has a chance to penetrate the substrate. I like to run a few practice beads on some similar material before I weld anything just to see how it will react to my gear. As far as welding equiptment. Those little HF welding machines are pretty tits. I would focus on skill before thinking about getting better equiptment and tools but it seems like that is your plan. If you have welding questions let me know.
Pourtant le 6 cylindres M3 e36 et l un des meilleurs 6 cylindres bmw bien préparer il peut facilement attrapé les mil chevaux en l élargissant les cylindres tout forger un big turbo et mil ch tranquille en France il y a des drifteuse M3 qui plus de 340mil kilomètres c est l un des 6 cylindres les plus robuste

Yup I've got no complaints or worries with the T56 mag!

Thanks! I love LS engines and like unique vehicles. My next LS will be a Vette though. And yes, T56s, all variants, are VERY expensive.

Swapped E39 guy here. Great content! This was still relevant to my swap (Z/28 drop out) and nice to see a BMW trying out the Magnum F.
Awesome thanks! Any chance it's an E39 wagon??
@@matt13ross It sure is! An '03 540iT
Cleanest snaparoo on TH-cam
thanks!
Engine bay looks good! Nice work
Thank you! That was a big goal of mine, clean engine bay. Have some more items to tidy up in there though.
Also, this is an awesome build. I have a 5.3 out of my Silverado that’s itching to have something done to it
Thanks! Needs headers and an exhaust for sure
It's nice when things work out!
Super dope man ! I’m happy you got it running good, can’t wait to see more content ! Motivating me to get my swap done faster lol
Thanks! I often need motivation lol
Glad you were able to get the Magnum F.
Not sure about the yoke, but looks like the paint wore off from the internal seals.
So normal wear on that yoke?
@@matt13ross Probably need to review the pictures more. Hopefully the guy who bought the trans will get back with you on what's wrong.
I’ll make sure he does because I’m VERY curious
Hey when you finish the build could you do a summary of what it all costed to do this build? I'm planning on doing something pretty similarly.
Yea! Planning on that in the future
Saweet! Sounds so good glad you’re happy with your 🤑🤑🤑🤑purchase!
So am I!

Thanks! I can be a little reckless sometimes so that's not good around the girl!
What's the link or part number to that spacer you got for the throwout bearing clearance? Love this build series btw!
Thank you! Here's the link: www.malwoodusa.com/spacer-plates-steel/t56-spacer-plate-1-8-steel-plate-yellow-zinc-plate/
Sounds really good
I think so too! It's loud, but just wait until the actual first drive video
@@matt13ross can’t wait..congrats on a sweet build
Love the content Alex, keep it up
Cool video as always. Car sounds awesome!!!!
Thank you! It may be just too loud for me lol
Ahhh and relieved!!!
You’re telling me!
Dakota digital SGI 8 to convert the tach signal
Most likely swapping to a digital dash so not needed. I was looking at that though.

Oh yikes, hope mine doesn't have that issue! I've heard nothing but good things about Sonnax yokes.
Congrats
Nice bro did you go with the 2.66 close ratio?
I did the more aggressive 2.97 to match the 3.15 rear end a little better. So far I think it's a great combo!
Y lovit the cars
that’s sweet! Congrats on finishing it!
Thanks! The general LS swap is finished, but the car is FAR from it!
Should have put the lbz with the manual in it
I don't think that would fit lol
@@matt13ross golden rule if it doesnt fit make it fit
Bro can you make a POV E36 LS1 Video ? That's would be preety sick !
Yes! But I have a GoPro Hero 4. I need to get a newer model for better footage first.
@@matt13ross well GoPro Hero 4 it's not bad still good enough for 2021 , you need chest GoPro mount and this the link :www.amazon.com/dp/B07G3119HY/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_glt_fabc_P6BMSQ1QX6TB2XFE9SDY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Did you sell the slip yoke yet?
Ha, I actually did not, still for sale!
@@matt13ross how much? I’m in Austin Texas
Is that 400 to the wheels?
I would estimate about 400whp on E85. Engine builder said it should be about 430 crank on pump.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wheels specs?
18X8.5
