opinions on L92 swap into A-body tremec or T56? I have a BBC in my chevelle right now with a tko600 behind it. I'm currently building an L92 engine to swap in.
Now I know there's lots of swap parts available to mate the LS to the tko, but i'm debating just going to a T56 so I cam run all Oem stuff. I can get good money pretty easily for the tko if I decided to sell it and go for a t56. I'm not worried about the floor mods or driveshaft because I can do all my own tig or mig fab as well as the driveshaft isn't a big deal.
I'd need a different bellhousing and flywheel for the tremec as well as maybe a hyd. clutch if the swap headers won't work with the mechanical linkage, which I prefer.
I could sell the whole TKO setup to a friend and it'll drop right into a regular sbc/bbc and source out a T56 or Magnum for not much more $.

Unless you have a boner for a T56, I would keep the TKO. The main advantage is that you won't have to change anything from the transmission back. I swapped from a big block 502 in my 70 GTO to a L92 and retained my Richmond 6spd. You can do the same with the TKO. Use the Edelbrock adapter plates and your shifter will end up in exactly the same location as it was with the big block.

trans I've read your whole thread on your car because our previous and present combinations are very similar.
Could you maybe pm me on the specifics of your clutch, flywheel p/n if you have it. I'd probably run the either the keisler bell or a quicktime. I've read the truck flywheels work but if I remember, you used LS7 parts correct?
