[exactlyallan]

LS3 Erod Manual Link

Note: 19421057 is 40 Tooth 19421058 is 17 Tooth

T56 Installation instructions

Note: Unclear is Tremec T56 Magnum transmission is 12 tooth (confirmed on phone) or 17 tooth compatible (T56 Magnum-F online literature?)

Using Transmission Controller is necessary and useful to convert 12T to 17T to 40T pulse etc. Should be fine tunable.

👎 E-Rod LS3 discontinued for 2024?!!

• Looking into using LT1 E-ROD (P/N 19433063) for manual
• Size is very similar, but heavier - https://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/lt-series-swap-guide-stepping-gms-latest-small-block/ / https://paceperformance.com/files/content/lt1-dims.JPG
• Using LT1 to LS3 mount adapter - https://www.psiconversion.com/products/mounts/lt/DD-LT-LS-1.html -OR Try custom from https://pennsyltuckyperformance.com/shop/e30-mount-v3
• Need new oil pan - https://www.moroso.com/chevrolet-gm-lt-series-rear-sump-swap20155/
  • GM Part No. 12652951 Dipstick Tube and 12643278 Dipstick
• Need accessory setup too - https://www.ictbillet.com/lt1-gen-v-camaro-power-steering-pump-bracket.html
  • Buy GM alternator
  • Buy GM steering pump
  • Buy GM starter
• Can probably use normal T56 Magnum transmission mounts etc (sikky)
