Cheapest route, you could probably score a used LT1-style T56 for pretty cheap. You just have to frequent for sale boards looking for them. I am sure you could fab up a cross member pretty easily or get the parts from Tyler at ATS. He's really good with answering any questions you have, the only cutting would be for a shifter hole about 4" further back than a factory manual.

BTW, killer car to have at your age.

wish he was closer.. I plan on selling my t56 stuff soon since I'm switching to a ls1 t56...

I'd sell everything for a great price, minus the cross member.

Bowler Transmissions makes a adpater for the electronic automatics. 4L60E / 4L80E, etc can all be mounted with the adapter.

Whats the difference between a lt1 t56 and a ls1 t56? Also, if I did go t56, doesn't someone make a setoff shifter for the t56 so i wouldn't have to cut a hole in the tunnel? Thanks
