Default 2005 C6 T56 in 01 C5 Z51

My 2001 C5 Corvettes T56 is broken and Ive found a T56 and Torque Tube out of a 2005 C6 Z51 for 875.00
will it bolt in with No Modifications, plug and play???
I need to know before I drive 2.5 hours to go get it.

The C6 torque tube is too long as well as the shifter is in a different position.
IIR the trans has a 30 spline output shaft as opposed to the 27 spline C5.

2005 is the only year T56 that will interchange. I bought a 05 Z51 Transmission Yesterday. They do have 27 spline also.

Does the C6 tailshaft housing need to be swapped for the C5 one?

Yes, the bolt pattern is different between the C5 and C6 differentials.

I'm still trying to find out what all works and what doesn't. I have a Torque Tube,Bell housing,and T56 transmission out of a 05 I plan to put in my 2001 if it will all work.
