Not without more money in fabrication and bullshit than you're willing to spend on a T56 rebuild.

The only Chevy V6 engine that has a similar bell housing bolt pattern to the LT-1 is the 4.3L V6' which did not come in the Camaro. the mid-90s Camaro came with a 3.4L or 3800 cc V6, and the gearboxes that came behind these motors has a different BH bolt pattern than a LT-1. Is your gearbox from a 4.3L V6?

I don't think any gm factory 5 speed would handle much power at all but I could be wrong. I busted my T5 with my cammed 305 in my 86 T/A not long ago. The cases are to weak.
