i know this isnt exactly third gen but its chevy anyway. ive got a 1970 chevelle im wanting to but a manual trans in and i have been looking into the t56 but i havent found any straight answers. it has a 1970 350 truck motor in it now. will this bolt up and if so what will i need to get to make it work. all jjunkyard parts if possible thanks

The engine you have is a 2 pc rms correct? If so, you will need a different flywheel,don't think you will get it in a jy. Read the sticky at the top of the page for flywheel pn#

ya it is a 2 piece. the stock clutch will work? what kind of hp do those stock clutches hold up to? thanks

Stock clutch from what? 93-97 lt-1 t-56 is what you need. If clutch you mean the hydraulics, then no a 3rd gen slave and master will work not , you can use 3rd gen pedals but clutch engagement is at the top of pedal travel. I personally am using the 4th gen pedals so it will engage right off the floor. The only thing you can use that you already have are the pedals. Don't know what the stock clutch can hold. Again I am using a Spec stage 3 setup.

Yes, the T56 will bolt up to the 350, but make sure you get the LT1 (93-97) T56 and bellhousing. Since you have the 2pc rms, you need the more expensive flywheel (Centerforce 700107 or equivalent). The stock clutch (Autozone NU31265) should be fine, and if you plan on running more hp, you can get away with just upgrading the disc (I did this and used the McLeod 261171 disc). If the tranny doesn't come with the clutch hydraulics you can get new ones here.
