Highly doubtful considering the C5's have rear-mounted transmissions.

anything is possible with sufficient amounts of welding... and it will take a lot of welding... did I mention lots of welding? Copious amounts, actually.

All you'll need is a longer shift cable for your auto trans. It should be an all afternoon job.

RACE ON!!!

Its a transaxle... you would have to fabricate all the mounts... a TON of work but like bogus said... could be done but you better have access to a welder & a torch. Perhaps a whole C5 rear clip to take parts & measurements from.
