In general, no. It *has* been done, but the ZF bellhousing cannot accommodate the flywheel diameter needed to engage the LS starter.
There have been some threads about using an aftermarket (quick time, I think) bellhousing, and machining parts to make it work. So, it can/has been done, but usually only C4 guys, as the T56s aren't an easy swap into them.
Look here for some info
