The transmission will bolt right up but you will have a few snags. You will need a th350 converter. The 4L60E converter won't work. You will need a custom crossmember and you will need a new driveshaft made. I run a th350, but mine was a 9" tail that is the same length as a 4L60E so I didn't need to get a new driveshaft and I bought a fitz-all adapter kit to mate the 4L60 tailcone piece to the th350 so my stock crossmember would work.

thanks i searched and couldnt find any decent info on this. i found a rebuilt th350 with convertor and it says short tailshaft for $150 do you think my driveline would work if its a short tailshaft? whats up with the cross member and torque arm?

You will still need a new driveshaft and a new crossmember. I'm not sure if BMR makes a crossmember for short tail th350's or not. They do make crossmembers with integrated torque arm mounts in them.

the guy sold it before i could get back to him, for $150 i was surprise he had it as long as he did. do the t56 and aut cars have the same length drive lines? ive been looking at parts 3rd gens entertaining the idea of a trans swap with a t5 or my motor into a 3rd gen i can buy a 3rd gen for the price of a rebuilt 4l60e
