This forum has over a decade of posts to reference.
I suggest using the search box on the front page; since it uses Google it's results are usually better.

At the top of this forum is " My T56 Swap Thread...."
It doesn't sound like you have specific questions yet which would not be addressed by reading that thread.
Two very important points:
The LT1 T56 isn't the only way to do the swap, but it's the simplest way to do a T56 behind an L98 in a third gen. If you want to ask "can I use a 2011 Camaro transmission," go right ahead. But the LT1 T56 is the simplest way to do a T56 behind an L98 in a third gen.
And most important: Don't put a 2.66 first gear, 0.50 sixth gear T56 in with any less than 3.42 rear gears. Preferable 3.55 to 3.90.
