T56 from parts car, what to grab?
I am going to pick up a T56 in a bit from an LT1 car a guy is parting out, what all should I be asking to get?
I have asked for the bellhousing, trans, pedals and shifter. Will I need the 4th gen drive shaft? I am coming from a 700R4.
Should I ask for the hydraulics - I know I should get new ones, but would they be useful for mockup?
Clutch is he has it in good shape? Will the LT1 flywheel work? Any wiring? Any stupid little parts that will be harder to source later?
Thanks guys. (And I did
, but this just fell in my lap and I don't have hours to read through the many threads that have been posted)

everything related , don't forget clutch wires . you can always throw away what you don't need . can be hard finding bits & pieces , good luck .

Thanks for the quick reply guys. Unfortunately he had previously promised it to a friend who finally came up with the money just now, so it looks like my search will continue.

Lol, that wouldn't make it as good a deal. I'm also not real sure what all he still had.

Re: T56 from parts car, what to grab?
850 was the price, it sounded pretty good if I could have gotten almost everything I need. 92, I am consider yours, it's just a bit more then I was looking to spend at the moment. I would still require a driveshaft and cross member correct? Thanks.
