Do you already have a T56 in your vehicle? Are you putting a LS1 into a different vehicle? The reason I was asking is that if you have a T56 currently or trying to aquire a trans that would fit behind the LS1, it would be cheaper to just repair the issues with the trans or buy a T56 to fit behind the LS1. Trying to find a 5 speed and modify it to fit your application would be more of a headache and cost more on the long run IMHO.

LS1 uses same bellhousing pattern as SBC, so I would think any third gen 5 speed should do the trick. As long as you're real easy on it - stock 225 horse 305's could damage that trans. Sounds like your just trying to get this thing rolling.
You just have to figure out which clutch to use.
