LT1/T56 swap
Right now I have the LT1 with a 700R4. I have all the parts to do the T56 swap but I wanted to confirm everything. Is it better use the 3rd or 4th gen pedals? I have access to both and that is really the only thing I am teetering on right now. Also, where can I get the pigtails for the reverse lights, reverse lockout, and clutch start switch? I can't find those anywhere. Here is a list of what I have so far:
1.) Spec stage 1 clutch kit
2.) GM hydraulic assy
3.) Spohn x-member
4.) 3rd gen pedal assy (4th gen is easily obtainable)
5.) pilot bushing
Is there anything I am missing?

The pedals from the third gen are fine. most people use them in the conversion anyway, so use what you have and save some valuable money. Here is a site to help you on your way. http://www.skulte.com/T56.html it has step by step info of what you need to do. As for the pig tails, I am not certian, but they should be the same for any T5 third gen as well. look up anybody who is parting a 5 speed third gen in the classifieds here and see if you can get pics of the tranny harness.
Cheers!!
