oh yeah sorry, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
it dosent say actually, just says the year
i know they are diff i assume a gto or an ssr, looks very similar to the ls1 t-56 to the untrained eye all i see is the shifter changed

It has corvette Internals. The 1st gear ratio is 2.97. Yes it has triple cone blockers and is a good transmission. It should be good short of 600rwhp like it is. You would mostly need a shift rail part to make the shifter work for an f-body. Cost would be less than $100 plus labor. It should bolt right up but I am not sure about the crankshaft hub thickness so do not 100% quote me on that.
Thanks,

I can sell you the part to fix it. It is a simple as removing the shifter and driving the roll pin out to change it. You could also use a GTO shifter but that is up to you. If you use the GTO shifter you do not need the part of course.

Info on the SSR T56 Was looking into this transmission as well & found this article:
http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/08/a...andr-part-iii/
This was someone replacing a LT1 T56 with the SSR T56.
They claim the ratios are as follow:
Viper/F-body SSR
1st: 2.66 2.97
2nd: 1.78 2.07
3rd: 1.30 1.43
4th: 1.00 1.00
5th: 0.74 0.84
6th: 0.50 0.57
Also:
"With our engine, the deeper and wider ratios will result in a more enjoyable car. Second, it has double-cone synchronizers on all of the forward gears (the F-body box has that feature on only 1st and 2nd). Third, the SSR gearbox uses a stronger one-piece countershaft. Finally, it has a stronger 32-spline mainshaft (the F-body box has a weak 27-spline output, which we'd previously broke and replaced with a 30-spline Viper mainshaft). "
As to the shifter:
"When mocking up the transmission (using the empty case - it's about 100 lbs lighter and much easier to handle), we stumbled along one more difference - the shifter pad on the SSR tailshaft housing was about a half-inch higher. That means that our B&M Ripper shifter wouldn't fit, and we'd have to buy something specific to the SSR. Or, we could simply cut down the mounting pad on the SSR tailshaft housing. "
Unrelated, but I know the feeling after spending a year on my Supra swap:
"..eventually we might just install it and get a chance to drive the car for the first time in over a year. "
