Has anyone ever put a T56 6 speed behind a 3.8? Is it even possible? What would need to be done for it to work?

Stay thirsty my friends
I read a thread about this over at TB,but done to a G-body. It's an interesting idea,but in my opinion only a novelty reward for doing it. Certainly no performance gain.
But...you'll need a donor 3rd gen that had the manual trans to grab all the hardware,driveshaft,pedals,etc,etc.
You'd have to be open to fabrication too, you may find that the T56 is not a bolt in and there is some geometry that needs worked out with the bellhousing.

The general problem w putting a turbo in a manual car is the RPM drop when U shift, unspooling the turbo to some degree, thereby losing HP & torq. An Auto can be designed to compensate, but I don't see how a manual could. generally not done.
