T56 Question (couldn't find answer using the search)

So I got line on a T56 tranny out of a LT1 Corvette. Will this work for my 92 Camaro? No worries on the pedals car came with a manual tranny stock. I know I'll need the LT flywheel, LT starter and the cross member from sphon. Just curious if there is a difference between the T56 that came in a 4th gen Camaro and a C4 vette. Thanks for the help.

There is a T56 swap thread in the stickies here. Did that not help?
I can't say about the T56 but I do recall when the T5's were used I believe the Corvettes and F-bodies are the only ones that were the same due to the shifter location.

AFAIK that's not a T-56; it's a ZF.

If so, then no, it won't fit, unless you get one of the bell housings that were used in Firehawks with those. Good luck finding one.

If it looks like this, pass. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Corve...item4cf4bf8170

If it looks like this, your odds are better. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...item3f06dd3896

The T-5 never came in Corvettes so that's not an issue.
