T-5 question
Could be an LS1 transplant and a T56 wont fit. An install behind an LT1 would be more straight forward.No I know of no readily avalable kit. Yes you can do this if you fabricate a clutch housing . I would start with the V6 Fcar part and "graft" the LS1 fear face of block bolt pattern to it. Then you have a release system avalable to use. You will want to use a different T5 gear set that the V6 used. I suggest a '96 0r so V8 Fcar set( 2.95 low gear ratio) . The 3.75 in the V6 would not mats the LS1 well.
just an fyi, but i dont think that a t5 will last long behind and LT1 or an LS1 with very much abuse. my friend had one behind a weaks *** 305 and it would hold up for **** i cant remember how may different trannys he has had. not trying to be a jerk just letting you know about my experiences with the T5.

Actually you can use a 82-92 bellhousing and it will bolt up to the LS1 except for 1 bolt hole . The 88 and later units from the V8's were a 2.95 ratio and were world class as well . Stronger than the non world class but I doubt they would hold up for any long period of time behind an Ls1 engine . You'd be much better off with a T56 or a Gm 4 speed such as a Muncie or Super T10 unit . Richmond has some nice 5 speeds as well .
I know you already said that your buddy went with a Lt1 but I am just posting this for FYI .
