Guest ghostrider Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I own a 77 280z and am going to do a v8 conversion. I recently bought a LS1 out of I believe a 99 camaro and a what I was told was a t56 6speed manual tranny out of a 2000 vette. My question is are they compatable? Theres no bellhousing or shifter assembly on the tranny. How do I find out all the info I can on both engine and tranny. Please help thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 The vette and the camaro are different, the vette has a torque tube that runs to the rear and that's where the tranny is. The camaro is more conventional and has the tranny mounted to a bellhousing. The camaro setup is what you want, although you might be able to make the vette setup work but you would have to fab it up yourself and may require the use of the vette rear end. The changeover to the camaro would be simple, just purchase the stuff from a junkyard or ebay and bolt it on. Then go to http://www.brokenkitty.com/zcar/zcar.htm and get the mount kit, JTR for the radiator and headers http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_DATZ_Radiator.html , Jegs for the proper clutch master, Jegs for the electric speedo and tach, speartech for a harness http://www.speartech.com/ , speed inc. for the fuel pump, earls for all the fittings. Exactly what pieces do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
