LS1 T56 Rotation Orientation.
For those of you that have installed the LS1 T56, is it installed traight up with the trans mount being flush to the undercarriage, or is there about a 12º Clockwise rotation of the trans?
I can mount it in both ways, and the crossmember I just borrowed is designed to have it rotated. If I rotate it, it looks like the shifter my face the passenger side just a hair sitting in neutral between 3-4 gears.
Thanks

C'mon, I know I'm not the only one putting one of these in.

Actually. the LS1 seems to be just as easy. Especially since it uses all the original T5 stuff including the bellhousing and hydraulics.
