If you can get it to work, it probably won't last long. It's just not robust enough to be behind an LT1. You might want to rethink your position.

The T5's torque capacity is less than the stock LT1 torque rating (325 lb-ft). Might hold up in moderate driving conditions, but if you're going to speed shift it, bump up the HP, or use sticky tires, you need a T56.

To figure out how to put an LT1 in a V6 chassis, look at the "sticky" on engine swaps on the "V6 Tech" forum. You will need a V8 K-member, PCM, wiring harness, springs, etc. Unless your V6 has rear disc brakes and a limited slip differential, it would be a good idea to find a good used V8 rear axle assembly, since both were standard equipment on the V8's.
