Anyone know if it's possible? I know all the other details of what needs to be done using a Chevy t56, thanks for any info.

The GM unit uses an internal slave cylinder design, has no provision for the clutch fork pivot ball and the input shaft is too long .

The one for the ls1 does but the lt1 has a slave cylinder. I think if you change the input shaft, front bearing plate and bell housing you can do it.

thanks all for the input, I have looked into this for a while, as I'm in no rush and most cobra t56's are not cheap and there is an abundant supply of LS1 T56's for $1000 or less. I'm doing a coyote swap and planned on a t56 to handle it, my research has shown I need an input shaft (most say the 10 spline is meh anyway), different driveshaft yoke, cross member, bellhousing, midplate, and a way to deal with the hydraulic clutch which I plan to change to anyway. Also redoing the wires for the reverse lockout and a couple minor things I cant recall.

Anyway, I found a t56 Service Manual at http://www.ls1.com/forums/f65/t56-service-manual-107802/ and as far as I can tell the bolt patterns for the bellhousing's to the trans body are the same. I came across someone selling a cobra t56 bellhousing for a nice price so it seems now it's worth it. Thanks again for the responses.
