Conversions & Hybrids - LT1 T56 to LS1

Is there any problems when bolting a T56 off and LT1 to an LS1. I'm doing the swap in my 96 Z28 and have the original T56 trans that needs to be rebuilt. I had always thought that it bolted right up but didn't use one of the holes and you were good to go. I recently have heard about a hydraulic issue, any truth to that?

You need to replace lots of parts, including the front cover and the input shaft, most people just sell the LT1 version and buy a LS version.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.

don't do it!

don't do it!

?? why????

you dont need to replace a lot of parts, just the bellhousing front cover and input shaft
that it, even people with no trans experience can do this quite easily
no reason to spend 1k+ on a trans you already have
