will a t56 from a c5 vette direct replace the t56 in my T/A? Was wondering how/if that would work.

 

I think the only difference is the bellhousings... I could be wrong though...

 

Nope, the C5 uses a trans axle version of the T56. Completely different.

 

is there anything that's a direct fit or one with some small modifactions that will wok in F-bodies?

 

A tranny from an f body would fit pretty well.

 

 

Didn't notice the C5 part, haha.... my bad.

 

Even though it's in the title, hahaha.... I am way too tired.....

 

Got to sleep...

 

viper t56?

 

One day about 100 years from know when school is over and I can save some money, I want to do an auto to stick swap. Would it be better to buy a stock Viper T56 or a LT1 T56 and mod it?

 

You can buy an LT1 T56 and have it built with the Viper input shaft and shift rods. There's also a company now who makes a 5-6 gear piece that isn't a single piece. It's also alot stronger and they can build it with just about any gear combination you want.

Con... it ain't cheap.

Here's the article.

Oh, almost forgot, McLeod makes bellhousing adapters to mount just about any T56 (viper, LT1 f body, LS1 F body, mustang) behind nearly any V8 (dodge, GM, ford).

 

Good article, thank you.
