Default Cadillac t56 in ls1 rx7?

What's up guys. I'm building a 1991 n/a ls1 rx7 and I found a sweet deal on a Cadillac cts-v ls6 t56. I start searching around, and i see several posts insinuating it might not be compatible with this or that. My question is- does this thing bolt to an ls1 (I assume if it fits a ls6, it will) and what's the difference in the output shaft/flange?

Thanks in advance guys.

it will have a bolt on flange output shaft.

it will also have a longer bellhousing for use with a dual mass flywheel. So if you run a standard flywheel you'll need the bigger pilot(you'll need this anyways) and the longer LS7 slave or a thick spacer(~3/4") with an f-body slave.

Also a remote shifter. Unless it's a steal of a deal, I would just wait for a non -V trans to come along. I was in the same boat on my FB swap, and I just kinda realized that it wasn't worth picking one up and going through the hassle of swapping enough stuff to get it to work.

that too.

I'd pass unless it was super cheap...at most $600. cause it will cost a fair amount to make it work.
