Do you mean an LS1 engine and T-56 transmission swap or figuring out a way to mate a T-56 transmission to a 3.8 motor?2001 Black Z28 M6<br />Sprayed, slotted, geared and more~Comment

Re: LS1 t56 swap?
It would essentially be the same as the auto LS1 swap, like in that link, but...
You would need a clutch pedal assembly, master cyl, hydraulics, etc.
And you would need a manual style center console.1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH

Re: LS1 t56 swap?
It's also a LOT easier if you stick to a 98 LS1 setup. A lot of stuff (wiring) hooks straight up instead of having to switch them over for a new year. You'll also need to run a wire from the fuse box to the passenger side fuel injectors harness or all cylinders will not fire.1998 Firebird w/ LS1 & A Few Mods<br /><br />Pictures--><a href=\"http://www.fad2blk.smugmug.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fad2blk.smugmug.com</a>Comment

Re: LS1 t56 swap?
i did some research and like FAD2BLK said it would be much easier for me to do i found all kinds of charts and everyhitng to help me out some too. i have found a few ls1/auto combos on ebay with about 35000miles on them for around $2500. however this project will not start till i get my T/A done and then it may still be a year or two from now till i really get serious in doing it but i want to get as much feedback/info before i start. thanks for all thehelp so far keep it comingComment

Re: LS1 t56 swap?
I have done this exact swap and went through tacreationsusa.com for all my parts. They are by far the best company I've ever done business with. Good luck.1998 Firebird w/ LS1 & A Few Mods<br /><br />Pictures--><a href=\"http://www.fad2blk.smugmug.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fad2blk.smugmug.com</a>Comment

Re: LS1 t56 swap?
All together it was around 6k for motor/tranny and a few mods at the time of the swap.1998 Firebird w/ LS1 & A Few Mods<br /><br />Pictures--><a href=\"http://www.fad2blk.smugmug.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fad2blk.smugmug.com</a>Comment
