For those of you that have installed the LS1 T56, is it installed traight up with the trans mount being flush to the undercarriage, or is there about a 12º Clockwise rotation of the trans?

I can mount it in both ways, and the crossmember I just borrowed is designed to have it rotated. If I rotate it, it looks like the shifter my face the passenger side just a hair sitting in neutral between 3-4 gears.

Thanks

No one knows?

C'mon, I know I'm not the only one putting one of these in.

 

The lt1 version is a ton easier to install and is reliably available. I’m willing to bet that someone’s running the ls1 t-56 in a third gen. I’m also going to bet it’s behind either a ls1 or a ls4

 

Actually. the LS1 seems to be just as easy. Especially since it uses all the original T5 stuff including the bellhousing and hydraulics.
