The truck manifolds are much wider than the corvette or camaro, as I understand.
Worth measuring. The truck manifolds were like 5" wider (outside of each outlet) than the corvette. They didn't fit my frame rails @ 27" between.
should be easy enough to measure?

Well things took a turn for the weird and I ended up buying a whole Corvette T56 Drivetrain. It included everything from the engine back. The car will now be AMAZING with the 6 speed. I just have to work on mounting it. Timeline for the whole build is one month! Anyone have experience with shortening the torque tube?

If you worked on it full time for 1 month that would still be an aggressive schedule IMO. I think there are 1 or 2 guys on the 944hybrids forum that have either direct experience with the Corvette transaxle/TT or at least thought about it. They may be able to help with shortening the TT. Good luck with your build!
