Default C5 6-speed split bell housing

Will a C5 6-speed split bell housing fit a C6 Z51 6-speed? Both are manuals.

Thanks all!

Bob

I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Pretty sure it will not. The torque tubes are different as well.

I have done swaps on C5 and C6 and the spacing looks different, but I never actually tried so hopefully someone who has a definite answer will chime in.

email RPM, I'm speculating there is a fore/aft delta between the two.

Even more perplexing, GM changed the rear cradle and length of torquetube in 2009.
