Problem: Having issue installing tranny I have a brand new LS6 motor outside of the car. I purchased the LS7 Clutch kit form ky speed and i had my T56 Tranny rebuilt with Stage 2 specs from Tick Performance. I am currently having a problem getting the transmission bellhousing, with tranny attached, flush with the block. Any tips or tricks?

Yes, i have tried installing them separately as well. Both ways got me real close (within a .5" or so) but it just wont go in the rest of the way. I ended up cracking the bellhousing by trying to use it and the bolts to pull the tranny flush with the engine.

Were the motor and trans a pair? The LS6 will normally have the larger extended roller pilot bearing in the crank for the 1/2" shorter LS6 transmission input shaft. If you try to install a Fbody LS1 T56 on it, it will bottom out on the pilot.
If this is the case, pull out the large pilot bearing from the crank and install a small LS1 type pilot bushing which recesses 1/2 further in.. (Use a pilot puller, don't try to force it out by packing grease, etc..)

damnit! this is the info i was needing too! i saw the roller pilot bearing in the GM performance parts catalog and ordered it. i put it on a motor going into my firebird, but i see its further out than the bushing in my LS1 crank. i wish i could just machine down my input shaft or inside the crank pocket instead of having to dick around getting this roller bearing back out and junking it.
