T-56 swap, need advice I am hoping someone can help me out, I am wanting to do a T-56 swap into my 3rd gen Camaro. From looking at different vendors I have not been able to come up with a bellhousing that will work with a gen 1 small block. If there is anyone out there that has done this could you please chime in and let me know what all I will need? I am currently running an aftermarket Spohn torque arm, so I will be ordering the T-56 specific cradle and will not have to worry about using the trans side mount with the swap. That is if the torque arm actually mounts to the transmission. I am also planning on using the hydraulic setup for the throwout bearing instead of swapping over to a manual activated throwout bearing like on older manual transmissions. Thanks in advance for any help.

An LT1 T56 will be a direct swap onto your car with that cross-member.
Look around over on thirdgen.org, the swap is well documented.
If you're using an LS LT1, you'll have to work out some additional issues and I wouldn't order your cross-member yet..
