I thought that was only for the 93 transmissions and 94+ was the same internally except for the differences for the throwout and such?

According to Borg Warner (later Tremec) both varieties were rated at 450 ftlbs of torque. While they most definitely will hold more, I don't think anything changed. According to what little I found the only major difference was in 98 it changed to Tremec as the manufacturer but nothing mechanically changed. There are later differences but fbodies never got them from the factory (different synchro design for the 01+ Z06 and first gen CTS-V and LS2 powered GTOs for example). I'd say an LT1 would do just fine and would be much easier to install.

It's what ever comes cheaper first.

I wouldn't mind the newer all aluminum Ecotec 3 4.3L V6, but it's just too technologically advance for me, but I got a plan for when I top out with the stock blocks to go to a Bowtie block and stroke it out to 5 liters.

The original V6 is out because of the I snapped a water pump bolt into the block and can't get it our so there is a 305 in the floor and I figure use it for a couple of years.

i bolted a stock lt1 t56 to my 430hp small block in my 60 chevy truck, thats the reason why i brought it up, it was a direct install, the only thing i had to do was a cross member, and make a custom clutch line. and so far so good, and its been about 2 years now.
