G body with TKO? My LSx z31 project kind of fell through, so now I'm stuck with a 5.3, TKO600, and an '84 Monte 229. Anyone have any info on using the TKO in a swap?

85 Monte LS3 w/ TKO 600 I used the Keisler LS Bellhousing, hydraulic throwout bearing, and pilot bearing assy along w/ an LS7 complete clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate. Worked out fine...
See my previous post that includes dimensioned drawings..... I also have dimensioned drawings of all the components used...Let me know if you need them

Caution, your 5.3 could have the common LS crank flange, or the truck flange that is reported to be .400 longer, see attached pics. My drawings are for the common LS crank flange.

Re You will need to get a bell housing. McLeod makes one thats universal and comes with an adapter ring due to the front hub of the Tremec being smaller than normal. I just did an LS7 in a G-Body. The tremec tranny may need an offset shifter for your vehicle. They are readily availible from Driveline specialties. Red Roberts makes them.
