e39 540i L92+TR6060

next was VF-eng SC, which i didn't like at all, maybe because of automatic gearbox. I felt the boost after 3500-3700rpm and after 110-120km/h (70-75mph) so after reading lots of threads i've decided to go with LS swap, which is very interesting considering i'm Ukraine)
There are maybe 2 C5 and maybe 10-15 C6 oh and 1 SSR)))
But we have lots of Escalades, so i found L92 from crashed Escalade '08 with 8k miles on odometer. I bought it for USD3.5k.

Due to subframe issues i had to go with GTO oilpan, modified, which was also done by Madison to avoid mistakes, as he already had proper experince:

Finally my gearbox has arrived. It's TR6060 from Camaro. As it's NOT assembled i'm looking for good shop maybe with used parts to make it all alive (need every small detail, including bolts):

Does anybody know, if this clutch can be used with TR6060 and LS7 flywheel - http://www.ebay.com/itm/LUK-OEM-CLUT...95dc29&vxp=mtr. I'm confused as it's said that it has 26 splines.
