can i put a LT1 t56 onto a LS1 engine? Hey i have lined up a buy for a t56 tranny out of a 95 camaro, It of course had a LT1 engine. I have an LS1 and i'm trying to get the facts straight whether or not i can just get a LS1 bell housing and bolt it up, thanx!

ah so it's a no go? i need it to be good, if there's any grey area i'm not gonna do it.
I'm being a newbie, but is the input shaft the part that goes into like where the flywheel and such is?

No go!
The input shaft of an LT1 T56 is too short to use with a LS1 bell.
Yes "the input shaft is the part that goes into like where the flywheel and such is"

I thought you could swap inputs and as long as you had the ls1 bellhousing you were good to go...I swear I have seen people do this...mb not though...

Yes it does, hence the need to change the front plate along with the input shaft and bell to swap a T56 either way.
