It's the T-56. I've only heard of one sixxer bolting it up. He had a shop do it, and had plenty of power to utilize it. It can be done. It's not a direct bolt-on though.

RE: 5-6 speed conversion

is it a bellhousing difference or is it a length difference. my T5 is shot and I want a T56 to put in, but didn't they put a T5 behind GM V8's in Silverados? or maybe others?

Input shaft difference is all I can remember. Bellhousing is probably different as well. I'll find the link of who the guy used. http://forum.camarov6.com/showthread.php?t=89211
