I know this topic has been been with a stick but I wanted a clarification on the t56's... So which one (ls1 or lt1) is the one that is easily interchangeable and will bolt up to another small block? Can the ls1 tranny be bolted to the lt1? If so, are any mods needed? I'd like a whole rundown on the one thats easiest to install into a 69 camaro. I am however thinking of swapping in an lt1 at a later time (not enough money right now).

If you're running an old style 2 piece rear main block, you'll need a aftermarket flywheel. If you run a later '88 up block with a one piece rear main. Everything will bolt right up from an LT1 style car.

thanks! With a stock lt1 t56 do i have to use the hydraulic clutch? Also, do I have to get an electronic speedo?

You will need an electric speedo or an adapter. As for the clutch style, I am fairly certain you will have to run a hyd. clutch with the stock setup.

Is there any reason why you wouldn't want to run a hydrualic clutch. I think they're the best thing since sliced bread. Very easy to hook up. No Z-bar or brackets.

Some people complain about "clutch feel" and then there are the fluid return issues that you will hit with the stock hydraulic lines.

Sorry, but incorrect.
LS1 hydraulics suffer from the line restriction, not the LT1's.

Buying an installation kit such as those available from TeeToe might be the easiest route to go.

You DO NOT have to use an after market flywheel as mentioned above. This is another reason to buy a kit-lot's of misinformation out there to steer you off course.

Do a search and you should find all of the information that you need.
