No LS1 or LT1 T56's have Carbon Blocker Rings. THEY DID NOT HAVE THEM FROM THE FACTORY. All F-Body's have the paper lined blocker rings. We have built well over 700 and none of the come from the factory with carbon blocker rings. Only the aftermarket units which would have been purchased after 2005 have them from the factory. The only ones that come from the factory with carbon blocker rings are GTO's, Corvettes and 03 Cobra's.

93~93: 2.97/2.07/1.43/1.00/.80/.62 LT1
94~02: 2.66/1.78/1.30/1.00/.74/.50 LT1 and LS1 versions
04GTO: 2.97/2.07/1.43/1.00/.84/.57 LS1
I have a 93 M29 with a fresh rebuild I am thinking of selling.
Yes we always add the carbon blocker rings. The stopped making the paper ones a year or two ago. The 93's have a different gear ratio and will not hold power. We don't offer a service on the 93's due to that problem. The carbon blocker rings can still wear out but are better designed than the paper ones. All blocker rings wear out as it is a wearable item. Hope this helps.

Yes they would. When the blocker ring wears it does not slow the shaft down to the correct speed so alot of people have issues getting it to go in gear at high rpms.
