Simple answer no. t6060 (c6 z06) tranny is very very strong but a built t56 will hold a lot of power as well

The question is what you looking to do with this tranny?

2006-2007 is a T56 - yes; the 1pc. countershaft and tailhousing go together due to bearing differences.
2008+ is a TR6060 - not without buying additional TR6060 parts.

The answer is NO! The 06-07 Z06 T56 have a 1 piece counter shaft with a straight bearing at the end rather than a tapered one and it will not fit. I have experimented with using a spacer around the straight bearing to drop into the tailshaft housing and that has worked. It can be done but not without the special spacer.
