01-05 I believe. It might be 04. Pre 01 5600 had smaller input shafts and some other undesirable features. You'll also need a spacer for the starter and a crossmember from a newer 2nd gen. I'm not sure when they started using the newer style crossmember that had 2 slots of holes for both trannys. Probably 98 or 99.

The 5600 is about 6" longer so your going to need some driveshaft work too.

The cross member has to be modified to accept a g56.
