Might need different bellhousing if its from an LSX engine. Not sure if the LT1 versions are as strong? The TR6060 is stronger than a T56. Some say a T56 Magnum is the same thing as a TR6060. I know the TR6060 has a stronger case, 3 syncros instead of the 2 on a T56 and TR6060 has thicker gears.
Not sure if an LT1 BH will fit later model T56/TR6060?
Main shaft did come in today. Thought Id be getting more pictures, only got the one and its still in the plastic bag. The shaft to the left with all the gear still on it is the one getting replaced. You can see how much longer new one is.
More progress, Got the trans/axle back today. Its a TR6060 from a 2010 Camaro that I had to replace the output shaft from a Corvette TR6060.
This is going to allow for a compact drive train as you can see. The engine bolts directly to trans and trans to diff.
This is where I'll have to fab in a shifter. I wanted to use the stock Camaro peice but it hit the new Corvette tail.
Will be an easy fix though just have to find a shifter or modify mine.
If you in Houston area or can pay for shipping give him a call. Very knowledgeable on T56/TR6060 and other trans.
Most likely you can get a better price if you call and discuss the details.
Have you thought about using a Buick Reatta as a base for your project? I saw one today and it reminded me of your project since they're mid-engine. I think they have a nice looking front end, too.
