LS1 Tranny options I have an LS1 out of what I was told was a 2000ish firebird....
And I'm looking for a tranny.
I have a bellhousing from tremec the goes LT1-T56 to LS1
So I'm assuming the LT1 came with a different T56 than the LS1 and this bellhousing just let's me use the easier to find T56 that came on the LT1s? Or are both those trannys the same and I'm just trippin?
Second question is I found a T56 out of a Cadillac CTS-V
Will this just bolt on with the bellhousing that it comes with or do I need to find an adaptor or something?
It's $1200 that seems like a ok deal? I can't find anything else in Canada
Thanks for any help guys.

you will need to find an lt1 t56 to use the bellhousing you have. i believe the input shafts are different lengths. i dont know about swapping a ctsv input shaft to work with you bellhousing, or if the shifter is going to be in the correct location, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in. and you need to move to America, $1200 and its all you can find???

Are there any other options for transmissions?
Maybe the 5spd that came on the 4.3L?
I'm not worried about braking it...it's going in a little Nissan that won't see tires wider than 205s.
