That's what I've heard and the lt1 t56 has a shorter input shaft than the ls1 t56.

LT1 = SBC with fancy ignition system, better heads that are reverse flow, and thats about it. So yea, LT1 6 speed and bellhousing will bolt right up

Good info, looking into putting a T-56 behind a BBC, and found this seems to be the easiest way. Any special clutch or flywheel you have to buy?
