We should have it up and running real soon.
John, how is the LS9/6L90 package going? Near completion yet?

Wonder he's developing the package for this chassis package.

Chassis was built in Athens, Alabama where pictures were taken. It should be in North Carolina now going under a 1963 Vette. Has C6 vette suspension. I know he wants it to be able to paddle shift it.
That 4" pipe in trans cross member looks like piece that use to belong to me...LOL May not be.
Belongs to a Chevy dealer who is more well known for one of his other enterprises.

Up and running well. Just a few more tweaks to work out before it's a finished product!

Cool John! I am salivating...
That LS9 package is just something else. GM did really well on that!

Yes they did Ian!
You might get a kick out of this little project we're doing with just the LS9 supercharger:

Hi,
Neat thread!
Anyway, I have a few questions.
Please correct me if I am wrong...........does not the truck 6l90 use a 3 bolt torque converter and the caddy 6l90 use a 6 bolt converter?
Does the truck and caddy use the same size input shaft?
If it could be used, would the caddy's twin-plate torque converter clutch be of any benifit as opposed to the trucks stock single plate converter?
Would there be any reliability issues using the truck's 3 bolt assembly as opposed to the caddy's 6 bolt assembly behind an LS9.
What exactly is the size of the truck's yoke? Is it larger than a 1350 series?
I have been told that the truck's output shaft and gears are stronger and I'm simply trying to decide which 6L90 to use.
Thanks man!
John

FYI all: After swapping a few PM's with NTSOS, it becomes clear that there are some differences between the LS9, LSA A6 and other A6's.
6L90E behind the Caddy LSA runs a 6 bolt/twin plate clutch converter and flex plate. Crank is 8 bolt.
Regular truck/car A6 converters are 3 bolt.
LS9 crank is 9 bolt.
Custom flex plate required to put 6L90 or any A6 behind LS9.
Guess GM saw long term production car durability risks to go with 6 bolt caddy converter and 9 bolt LS9 crank.

LSA crank is
8 bolt, not 6.
Yes, we had to get a custom designed flexplate for the LS9/6L90.

Thanks for that confirmation John.
Must get the dyslexics looked at.
Lot of work required for your conversion. Some achievement getting that all together!
