what transmissions can be put in a 93 firebird lt1??
im looking to swap my stock 700r4 automatic transmission and im wondering what are ALL the kinds of ttransmissions you can put on the lt1. I know the t56 and the th-350, but what else can be bolted on there?

With the 700r4 having a 3.06 first gear I would say, think about just doing a heavy duty/upgrade rebuild.
But there is the 2-speed automatic powerglide and the th400 also.

You can do the 4L60e, but you'd have to run a newer harness and PCM.
Works out well for guys who want to do 24x.
You could also just run a stand-alone trans computer, but they're not cheap.
But yeah, as far as bolt-up auto solutions ... you're best bet is to stick with the 4L60.
I'll have one for sale soon (only 60k miles), I'm going 4L60e
Converting to a manual isn't exactly painless, but it does get you away from some of the compatibility issues.
Different driveshaft and crossmember

One thing to point out (that a lot of people seem to miss) is that you really
need a setup that can make enough power to get a car moving with a glide.
Most H/C cars are going to be turds behind that first gear even with a big stall.
