T5 won't bolt up to an ls based engine, nor could it handle the power. There is an adapter to bolt an ls based trans to an sbc so maybe it could be used backwards but there would be no reason to do so. If you are going to swap for a higher powered engine you have to upgrade your entire drive train to accomodate it.
