currently piecing together an ls1, and will be looking for a thirdgen soon
You will also need trans crossmember, I got mine from Spohn, part# T56-XM
Also if you T56 has the electronic speedo you will need a conversion box. Several companies make them. I got mine from Abbott Enterprises, they call it the Cable X box. Their phone number is 800-643-5973.
I got the 5 speed console plate off of Ebay for $15
You also may need to get a starter, the T56 needs the small nose starter. The junkyards didn't have any here and the dealership wanted $300+ for Corvette one, I wanted the high torque one, so I ended up getting one from Jegs....
The T56 will sit about 1/2 inch higher in the trans tunnel so you will have to modify your driveshaft loop if you have one.
I really enjoy mine now that it's done. It was expensive but worth it!
