I cant see much point in doing the Supra conversion these days. I was looking at doing it when the T56 was still very expensive. Now you can pick them up for a couple of grand.

The T56 is a big gearbox but I'm not sure that you would need to do much to the tunnel. The box it deep and fairly long but when you think the main shaft is on the crank centerline it's not going to intrude into the tunnel much more than the Supra box. Given that, modifying the tunnel isn't a big deal compared to trying to match up different bellhousings, flywheels and clutches etc.

The bolt pattern for the LS1 is virtually the same as the small block chev. Only one bolt different I think.

Cheers

Michael
