Will the T56 Magnum if in a 4th Gen Fbody? I didn't think they would?

^^^Is this correct??

I've always heard that this happened for the '01-'02 (f body) model years ONLY.

My '99 had paper lined blockers when we pulled it apart last month.

This is an old one, but ran into the 1993 T56 earlier since I bought one, the above info seems to be what I found. 1993 LT Input Shaft is smaller on the drive gear, 1994 would have been the same size as the LS. Took a nice pic for reference. I'll buy a Corvette T56 and combine the parts, front 4 from that in this 1993 unit will do it.
