Trying to plan out doing a 4.8 Chevy v8 swap into my pickup. Keeping ifs. As far as I know I have the stock w56 still in my truck although not sure because there is a cut out around my shifters which has me questioning why but I’m assuming it’s still the stock w56.
Seems to be the case that the r151f would be a more ideal transmission to mate up being stronger. I plan to keep the 4.8 completely stock. They run less than 300 hp, at my elevation probably even less.
But I’m also willing to try to just use my w56 and see how it goes. I don’t do anything crazy with my truck, I’m more interested in it getting down the highway then doing technical off roading.
What’s your guys thoughts on this?
