I have been looking into fabbots AR5 kit for LS swaps and SBCs.
I am surprised I couldn't find anything here by searching. Ive asked in a few groups on FB but prefer to use forums. Plenty of guys there use it with 500+ HP/ Tq or at least claim as much. I am looking to drop my 700R4 and get a manual into my Truck along w an LS this winter.

I was wondering if anyone here has any experiences they want to share or tips on the swapping in a AR5 transmission from a Colorado?

Heres the link I am referring too: https://www.fabbotfab.com/products/fabbot-nexgen-ar5-to-ls-transmission-adapter

@Slybeanx I'm interested in this swap also. What did you find out? Did you get your swap finished?

I bought everything to do the swap, sold the truck and then sold the AR5 to another member.

I'm using the leftover parts to now swap in a NV3500 into my K10.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. There's a group on FB that's a huge source of info.
