Okay fellas got a quick question... i have a T56 that came out of a 98 Camaro SS, I was wondering if there are any engines aside from the ls1 that are compatible with this transmission? Thanks in advance for your help.

A friend of mine has a third gen Camaro that he’s trying to put together. I believe he is going to put a motor that came out of a 1985 corvette into his car, but he is in need of a transmission. He doesn’t have much money, and I happen to have an extra T56 transmission sitting in my garage. I want to give it to him, but im unsure if he will be able to use it.

I snagged an LS- type and have been learning as I go what's needed to make it work for my regular sbc stroker.
The 'simple' way would have been to change the input shaft, front plate and bellhousing to LT- and then get a puller slave cyl. instead of the hyd. throwout bearing that LS- uses.
But I chose to keep the box intact so I had to buy the Qucktime adapter bellhousing. This adds some info:

The guy who sold me the tranny also included his LS-7 flywheel and clutch and he mentioned in passing I'd want the 'crank spacer' to properly engage the starter (Part# 12563532). I picked one up -just in case- when everything goes in.
I get to retain the Rhino TO bearing that came with the tranny which seems a little more direct-acting than a puller slave type setup. The seller informed me of the .125 precision spacer he had added behind it for optimal clutch release. HTH
