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
-Paul

The lt1 version is a ton easier to install and is reliably available. I’m willing to bet that someone’s running the ls1 t-56 in a third gen. I’m also going to bet it’s behind either a ls1 or a ls4

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