ls1 6 speed conversion?
 
Thinking about possibly doing ls1/t56 into my 75 Jimmy 2wd, soon to be a roadster project....have complete donor car (2001 Z28).....what are the main things you think I will have problems with? Has anyone swapped a t56 into a Blazer before? Trying to decide whether to put it in the Jimmy or my 64 el camino......

I don't have a clue how that'd work but it sounds like it'd be fun.

I would start looking for an '85-up hydraulic pedal assembly. You could probably use all of the clutch hydraulics from the Camaro. I looked into doing an LT1/6speed swap into my truck, but that only lasted a little while. I remembered I am too lazy to shift gears.

shifter location on the t56 camaros is on the rear of the transmission and that puts it to far back, so you will be looking at moving that.
