LS1/T56 in C4
Has anyone done this. I'd be putting it in a race car.
C beam - can you just drill new mounting holes??
drive shaft - need a special cut??
Pwr steering - can the pump from LS1 engine feed C4 rack?? Or can the C4 pump be mounted to LS1???
motor mounts - can they be bought ??
Any other thoughts ???

So short run down,
1. You'll need an adapter for the T56
2. I think most people are using a stock driveshaft although I'm not positive on that, I'd measure it anyway.
3. pwr Steering you can hook up stock just need to plumb it (again from my understanding Ch@os feel free to correct me.
4. motor mounts you can buy, there's several different types on the market.

2-3 yes
I was able to use my stock lines with some tweaking on the PS pump but others have had to get different lines, otherwise it's easy if you do your homework. My advise is find someone with a similar swap and don't be afraid to ask questions. GL
