I've done some searching and it sounds like Tremec bought BW and both have ups and downs, but overall the T56 is stout regardless of Tremec or BW. Is there much difference in the two though - size and adapters mainly; any cost difference for shafts/housings/adapters? Can I use the same clutch plates? I'm planning on running a 1998 LS1 from a corvette. There happens to be a 2006 BW T56 from a Mustang available near me for $1000, so just want to know if I should pull the trigger and if anyone has done this before? I see a few people on here that have LT1s with BW T56s, but not sure about LS1s. I have a good trans shop that will open it up and inspect before I buy for a very small fee also.
Again, I apologize if this has been asked before. Please point me in that direction if you could be so kind. Thanks in advance!
