Got the T56 out of the Z28 and getting parts ready for a swap in to the Cheyenne, already ordered a clutch pedal assembly. Probably swap the LT1 in after some beefing up just need to figure out if I'll stroke it or just bore it out.

Getting the LT1 and T56 for a test fitting in the Cheyenne to see where the hole for the floor should be and get the right master and slave cylinder right.
Getting ready to test fit the LT1/T56 in the truck this 4th of July and see where I need to cut the hole for the shifter. Have already ordered a driver side seat bracket for my Procar seat and a PSI LT1 wiring harness for a manual, OBD2 port so I can use all the stock stuff, and laid out for a Corvette accessories bracket so I don't have to notch the frame for the Camaro a/c compressor placement.
Did you purchase a LS1 T56 or an LT1 T56? The LS1 T56 is not a direct bolt up to your engine. The flexplate, clutch, throw out bearing, input shaft and mid plate are different. The bellhousing will bolt up, but the clutch action won't work without heavy modifications.
The best route is to find an LT1 (1997 and earlier) T56.
I bought a 1996 Z28 for $1700 and sold a few things and scrapped the wrecked body and came out to $1150 for the engine, t56, leather front seats, and center consule, pretty good deal for a running LT1/T56.

Got the LT1 and T56 in tonight for a rough fit and to get some other thing to fit like the master cylinder and slave cylinder and custom transmission crossmember.
