Default LS1/LT1 T56 tail housing

UPS broke the tail housing on my freshly converted MN12. In my search for a new tail housing I have come across a LT1 T-56 tailhousing. Question is will the LT1/LS1 tailhousing interchange? It sure would open up my search range a lot if they do interchange. Thanks

They do interchange. There are variations among the reverse idler gear setups, and so they should be kept with the tail housing, or verified with the correct clearance.

[Gen414, the tailhousing was converted from the MN12 to LS1/LT1 already, so no issue there. A MN12 GTO tailhousing would convert, while a Z06 or CTSv tail would not... ;-) ]
