The input shafts are diffent sized? I didn't know that. I know the LS1 has an extra bolt hole hence the LT1 T56 wouldn't work, wasn't sure if a bellhousing change would do it. Hmmm, learn something new everyday... :D

Ps: I agree, I'm guessing here, but due to the lower numbers of LS1's (and therefore less demand for a huge number of parts), I'm sure it would be much more costly to build up than say a LT1 or older SBC.

DON'T SCRAP THE PROJECT YET! Just don't start from the block. True, LS1 stuff is expensive. However, hunt ebay or auctions and get a complete motor and mated trans.

 

I saw and rode ine Lone's car. ZOOOOOOM! Awesome! Save your pennies. I bought a totalled WS6 Trans Am. It was a 2001 with less than 9000 miles. I paid $4500, parted out many things, and so far my cost is down to $3000. Soon to be $2500.

 

Good luck! The swap is not easy, but I'm having a blast dreaming of solutions.
