[QUOTE=Scotch;295329]I've got a T56 behind a First Gen 383- it's all LT1-based stuff. It's real similar, but not identical. If you've got questions I could help ya with, I will.

I had to cut the tunnel from the firewall to past the end of the trans output shaft.

My 383 made 545 hp- I use a CF flywheelf and DF clutch. It's been awesome.

Scotch,
Could you elaborate more on the flywheel and clutch you used? I am trying to learn how I need to handle a T56 swap into my 70 chevelle. I already have the engine built and a T400 installed, but want to go to a stick.

I have been told a LT1 T56 will bolt right up. However, after some research, I'm finding other info. I would think if the bell housing bolts up, then I could just get a clutch and PP for a normal setup. None of the pull type stuff.

Thanks in advance,
HEEP
