So the stock tranny mount will bolt up to the 700R4 with no modification?
Year of Corvette: 1972
Engine: LS1 out of '03 Vette
Oil Pan: Batwing oil pan was retained and will fit easily on a rack and pinon car.
Engine Mounts: Transdapt
Engine Accessories: modified F-bod to fit C5 supercharger, S&P AC mount
Manual Throttle/Drive by Wire: Manual 90MM UMI Throttle
Waterpump: Stock
Transmission: F-body T56 with LS6 clutch
Clutch Master Cylinder: modified '85 1 ton truck master clutch master cylinder
Crossmember (stock/modified/aftermarket): Modified stock
Exhaust Manifolds/Headers: modified SS Hooker sidepipes with LS1 flanges
Wiring Harness (modified stock/aftermarket): Speartech custom length harness puts computer in rear compartment
Radiatior/Fan: Be Cool with dual Spal fans
Fuel Pump/Lines/tank: Rock Valley SS tank with in-tank pump
Steering System: Steeroids rack and pinion
Brakes: 14" slotted rotors with 6 piston aluminum Wilwood calipers in front and four piston aluminum Wilwoods on stock sized slotted rotor in rear with proportioning valve. Hydroboost assists in the braking.
Misc info: C5 Magnuson supercharger, LS6 heads and cam. If you decide to go with a roots blower, make sure you get a hot rod style as it will make the installation much easier. The Maggies will fit under a L88 hood. Also, highly recommend Speartech for your wiring harness. Asked all the right questions and I ended up with a harness that fit perfectly into the car. Finally, a 700R4 automatic tranny mount will bolt up to a T56.

Hey all,
I've already done the LSX swap, but am now swapping for a 4l60e. What did you all do for the output yoke on the trans? Curious what I need to do for the driveshaft as my TH400 had a much larger yoke.
