Default LT1 T-56 in LS1?

What all needs to be swapped over to make it work? I have a 4l60e and thinking of swapping over. Found this http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/2348528400.html

LS1 uses push type pressure plate LT1 uses pull, diff bell housing bolt pattern, etc-etc. would be easeier to just go with correct LS1 setup.

Here are the prices in order....250, 200, 200, 80, 50
So $780 + labor for everything new. That guy is asking WAY too much for that LT1 T56...1500..wow.
So right off the bat you'll be at $2280, then you might as well go thru the tranny, then you'd be spending another $700 minimum. I would not do that deal.
I sell T56 trannys for $1900 outright or $2150 for a T56 w/ Corvette internals (triple cone synchro rings). Add another $150 for a used bellhousing, or $250 for a new one.

Or pick up a T56 that needs to be rebuilt for $400-500 and you'd still be better off. Good luck
