Default T-56 bellhousing pattern for 6.0L?

i have an iron block 6.0L out of a 2001 suburban...how hard would it be to mate an f-body t-56 to it? i understand i will need a different bellhousing correct? and if so, what is the bolt pattern?

My T56 bellhousing fit fine with the 6.0L iron block. I have not heard of any differences.

Not the block/ bell housing attachment that will give you the headaches.You will need the pilot bearing added to the crank and a flywheel in place of the flex plate. What are you fitting this to?

i'm puttin the 6.0 in my 1988 S-15 (same as a S-10) and i wanted a 6 speed instead of the 4L80E that's currently there...but i might as well use the auto until i have all the parts for the manual tranny together..
