It can be done, but would cost you more money than it would be worth. The LT1's input shaft has a 2" difference from an LS1's input shaft. So with that alone you gotta go in and start replacing internals to make it work. Not to mention that the later T-56 is just stronger anyway.

That collection of "most" would be mis informed. I think there is a group of people who think the LT1 units were better because of their problems with the clutch release system and the associated transmission carnage that comes from poor clutch release. This is hardly evidence of strength difference. The "upgrade" parts most pursue come from Tremec not Borg Warner . I think that alone is reason to pursue a Tremec box.
