Transmission Question
I have a 1995 Z28 with a automatic transmission. I was wondering is it possible to transplant a V6 5 speed into an LT1? They are so much cheaper and easier to find. I really want a manual and the car was cheap and is a solid project. Any help would be great.

The T5 is so weak, GM would not use it behind the L98 350 V8 in the 3rd Gens. That engine was only available with a 700R4 automatic. There are versions of the T5 available, but they will cost you as much as a T56.
Then you would have to address the clutch issue. The LT1/T56 combo uses a one-of-kind "pull back" clutch design, so you would have to sort out that problem.

Re: Transmission Question
OP
if you can find one from a donor car (junkyard) that would be your best bet. Given it would be at least a 20 year old tranny not likely driven by your grandmother it would need some work if not a complete rebuild
if you did find a donor car, everything would be on it you need to do the A4 to T56 swap
for example (although not cheap $)

I would stay away from the 93 as it is only rated at 400 ft lbs of TQ. 94-97 are 450 ft lbs. Although the 93 does have a lower 1st gear
