Ok I am going to be purchasing a t56 this weekend from a Ls1 camaro and I was wondering what do I need to take from the car to be able to use it on the chevelle. Make me a list

Here's your list:

1) Purchase a manual pedal assy for your year/model.
2) Call Tyler at ATS for the rest.

What he said...

You will need to get a crossmember (the ATS unit is the nicest) and you will need a few brackets. I am unsure if you will need a modified cluch master to fit your firewall.

Call Tyler at ATS..

Oh get all the wireing connectors from the doner car (like for the nutral safety and that stuff)

Alright cool, Ill make my own crossmember, I'll take the one from the camaro and use it for a template. But um... what is ATS's website or number??

Wow guys. Thanks for beating ATS into his skull. Now he might be afraid of us.

projekt70chevelle- The website is www.t56kit.com, and our number is on the contact page.

We've got you covered for the T56 install parts. Your best bet is to stick with the clutch/brake pedal assembly from the same year A body that you have. With a simple firewall mounted bracket, a 3pc tubular crossmember, and modified GM master, you can bolt in a T56 with little modifcation. You unfortunate A body guys do have to remove the tunnel and fabricate a larger one due to the T56 overall size, and the tiny trans tunnel located in your massive land yacht. Also if not using a matching LSX engine, you will require a special adapter plate to mate the LSX style T56 to a SBC or BBC.

Don't hesitate to call on us for any T56 or LSX questions you might have.

Tyler

Why couldnt I use the bellhousing from the LT1, or are you talking about the hole for the shifter to come through?
