Default 89 S10 6.0/T56 swap

Hey everyone, as the title says im swapping a lq4 with a t56 behind it into my 1st gen s10. The lq4 is getting a ls1 intake, C5 acc. with dual alt setup, and a comp cams cam and valvetrain upgrade. I have a question ive been trying to verify that I havent found a answer to yet. With the ls1 t56 behind the 6.0 do I need a spacer for the fly wheel? Thanks, Josh.

You will never need a spacer with with any LS series to run a T56. HOWEVER, if you have an early LQ4, the crank hub is actually wider, and you can't run anything BUT the early style trannies (th350, 400, etc) Without a crank swap.

If it has aluminum heads you're *probably* safe, but check the casting # to be sure.
