Im doing the same thing, One important thing u should know. 93 T-56 were weak trannies, 98 and up wont fit, due to the bellhousing and among other stuff. Its best to get a crossmember,torque arm from spohn

I believe they sell a package(crossmember and torque arm) and comes with a free driveshaft safetly loop. good luck

 

A very easy swap. All that I did was get a six speed with clutch and bellhousing, then extend the hydraulic clutch lines with very cheap pherals(spelling?) and make my own crossmember. The only thing that you should spend the money on is the tranny crossmember. I built my own but am not happy with the ground clearence because I used quarter inch steel. The hundred bucks from spohn is well worth the money for the pre-made crossmember. You can use your stoc drive shaft, flywheel, if your car was a standard pedals, hydraulics including slave and master cylinder. My swap has been working for three years and counting, if you have any questions please ask. Good luck.

 

I was wondering if I can reuse my stock flywheel with this t56 swap. How can I figure out if its the same? I have an 88 305 with a 5 spd.

 

No you cannot reuse your flywheel. You have to get a flywheel from an LT1 car.

 

The Spohn DS loop isn't free. The front one is $40 and the rear one (so you have two) ends up bringing the cost to $80.

I have the Spohn TQ Arm/Crossmember with driveshaft loop. It's a very nice piece...I highly recommend it.
