T56/SBC Conversion Kit
I'm having a hell of a time finding a kit without the transmission for a 1st gen Camaro with a SBC. The kits I have seen that include the Magnum would be overkill for me so I am toying with the idea of using a used standard T56. I don't need the extra strength of a new Magnum. I am using a factory console so I don't want to modify the tunnel as I understand the Magnum's case is a bit larger. The kits also all seem to have steel bell housings. Isn't there an aluminum one available?
I installed an 06 GTO LS2/T56 into a 69 and didn't really have any major problems. I can't remember how far off the shifter location was as I used a custom console and an changeable offset shifter handle so using a regular T56 might be an issue with a factory console.
Can anybody offer some advice on how to do this? I don't want to reinvent the wheel by having to design and fabricate a system for this to work.
Thanks!
Larry
