What crossmembers and driveshaft work for an ls swap in a gen 1 camaro?

Guys what crossmembers and driveshafts work well with what transmissions? I.E.:if I use a t56 will a turbo 400 crossmember work with some tweaking, or if I use a 4l80e do I have to get an aftermarket trans and so on. I have asked this question before on a different forum but got really no answers. I currently have a 4spd muncie crossmember and driveshaft and wanted to know if I can use these for any trans that works with the ls or are they useless other than a 4 spd aplication?

I'm just going to use my stock nova x member and move it back on the frame and drill new holes. That's what my buddy did with his chevy 2 ls swap. I'm sure others will chime in though.

What trans are you running? I want to use a stock crossmember I am just not sure what ones I can use with either a 4l80e or a t56. Those are my desired trans choices.

We just cut up and modify stock ones. Mainly so they get put in the right place.

Can I use the muncie drive shaft and crossmember with a 6 speed?

[Vince@Meanstreets]

No on the driveshaft. Going to have to shorter and a different yoke.

This guy is in San leandro and he can make you one that fits. 510 352 3500 ask for brian.

Thanks Todd, I have been leaning towards the bowtie overdrives crossmember if I got t56 http://www.bowtieoverdrives.com/cata...php?ITEMID=690
Its the right price, and they seem reputable, I will look into your suggestion however.

So a muncie 4 speed driveshaft fits a t56, I connected them and turned it. The input shaft turned with the driveshaft. So I guess the conclusion is that a muncie driveshaft works with a t-56. Now I just need to find a crossmember that wont have complications and wont break the bank.

The American Powertrain one is very nice, I have a few for a t56 or a auto in a 1st gen if you need one PM me
