Im getting ready to do a v8 swap in my s10. I already have the motor and tranny but i have one problem. I have a late model 350 out of a 98 chevy. It is a hydralic roller motor and for the trans i have a 02 t56 out of a camaro. I know they wont just bolt up and im good to go so whats an easy way to bolt them together. Also my s10 is already a 5speed pickup so do i need to get a different slave to fit the ls1 tranny? can i use the s10 hydralic linkage? any help would be greatly needed. thanks

I'm pretty sure the slave will work with the t56 but I don't know about the 350 and the t56 working together. I'm no expert though so I'm sure someone else out here knows more about that

I know the slave cylinder will work, I have done it, but I think the ls1 t56 has a longer input shaft, may have to change input shaft.

The input shaft on the LSx T56 is 0.400" longer than the input shaft on a late model 350. The bellhousing should bolt up, but the input shaft will stick out too far forward. The easy solution would be to make a 0.400" thick spacer plate to go between the engine and trans, but I don`t know what you would do for a clutch. I am sure there is a solution for a clutch out there, but I am not very well versed in manual transmissions.

What about selling/swapping for a LT1 T56? That should be a bolt on for a late model 350.

im pretty set on using the ls1 t56. what direction would i have to go for a clutch and a flywheel? if i make a .400" think spacer plate for the bell housing then couldn't you just make one for behind the clutch?

It would be easier to find a T56 for an LT1 then sell the one you have.

You would just have to make a spacer that goes behind the slave cylinder... ATS makes the spacer(s) and sell them in a kit with all the mounting hardware...

That's it right there. For connecting an LSx t56 to old SBC engines. They sell it for $90+shipping. I have one I'd sell for a little less if you're interested in it... I bought it to put an Ls2 T56 in my 68 Chevelle behind my old 350, but decided to just go with an LSx style engine, so I don't need it now...
