Re: 6 speed trans! (Sliding)
I have opportunity to buy C5 LS1 for very little money ( car is trashed, but engine and trans are O.K. ).
Is iz possible to install engine and trans into C4 ?

While it may be possible, it's probably not worth the hassle or expense. Why not buy the car, part it out and use the money to buy a LT-4 (or a 383) & ZF for the C4.

Anything is possible with enough time and money. So if you have a lot of either then go for it.
Can you put a C5 tranny in a C4? Easily? No. But nothing's impossible. :)

Re: 6 speed trans! (Twin_Turbo)
My understanding is that the ZF will NOT bolt up to the LS1s because I believe the LS1s have a different bellhousing bolt pattern than the Gen 1 and Gen 2 SBCs, and there aren't any LS1 bellhousings that have the ZF bolt pattern on them...at least this is my understanding.
The only way that I am aware of that you could install the LS1/T56 combo in your car is to use a Camaro T56 tailshaft section and either fabricate a tranny crossmember or a bracket (or new custom tailshaft housing) which will allow the trans to be bolted to the stock torque arm. I have seen the latter done, but it wasn't cheap.

Re: 6 speed trans! (CorvetteZ51Racer)
I think I'll give up on this. :sad:
If I lived in US maybe I would go for it but here is very hard to find any
parts and it looks that I would need a lot of it.
