the input shaft is shorter for a LT1 T56. You will need a shorter bellhousing and to convert to a LS style master/slave set up. Probably easier to just change out the input shaft.

Any idea of where to find the parts needed, maybe used, to complete the installation of the LT1 standard trans in the LS1 engine?
