It does not work. It will mount but the input shafts are different lengths. You would have to disassemble the LT transmission and install a LS shaft and (I think) a few other parts.

Do you think it's worth doing that I mean I'm paying 500 for this t56 which puts me considerably lower than all the other peoples prices so I have wiggle room you know and is there anyway to find out what parts I need for the swap?

$500 ? Yea, it probably is. I've heard some say the LT1 version made by Borg-Warner was built a lil tougher than the LS1 built by Tremec.
Google it, there's even a You-Tube video.
Your going to love the swap, I drive a swapped FD.

Do try to put your questions in the right section here, it's a big site.
