Hey People I'm new here, and i need some help, I've been looking eveywhere for a t-56 conversion to stick in my 1967 Camaro. Right now it sports a factory M-21 muncie 4-speed and it's never been touched but its getting worn out and doesnt shift like it used to, and i can understand that and i thought it would be awsome 2 put in a t56 because with the 4:10's in the rear my highway gas milage sucks and im cruising at about 4,000 rpm's doing 75-80 mph when ever im on the highway.So I've heard about bell housing company's make that a t56 can bolt up to and run on other chevy blocks not just the Ls-1's or Lt-1's but I havent seen anything like that anywhere?? HELP!!!. Well I would appreciate any help you can give me.

As far as I know its the same to 97, but I do know there is some differences after that, not sure if it is the bell housing or not but I know for my 89 (gen 1 block) it is a direct repacement upto 97, then you need some special kits to put it in. I think this is mostly due to the new clutch system and the trany is longer after that, which may not be a factor for 67'
