OK< so I found a 6.0 that a local guy that specializes in LS swaps can fit to a 5 speed for me- heres the d'tails, 6.0 engine, (I dont remember what year, but has 80K miles) I told him I wanted a 5 speed manual, he said he would bolt the engine to a T-5 (low mileage trans) with new clutch/PP etc. He said I would be able to use my stock clutch linkage rather than having to do the hyd
setup. He did have other tranny options, but much more $$$.

I'm not planning on racing, but I do plan to bark the tires occasionally, will the T5 hold up to the 6.0?
