I have a LS6 engine froma 2004 ctsv. I bought a GTO T56 without bellhousing. I bought a bellhousing from fbody (5.5 inches long as all t56). I try to enter the main shaft into my pilot bearing and its ok but theres a 1/4'' of space between bellhousing and the engine. The shaft seems to be perfectly on the pilot bearing.

Anybody know why?
Pilot bearing can be pushed a bit more under the engine? I really dont understand.

You don't have an extended pilot bearing in the crankshaft do you?

I dont think so. I'll check this out tomorow, i dont have the tool to put the bearing out. But i guess i'll need one. Where can i find this part?

Just saw just MUST change the pilot bearing if not installed with the cadillac T56 to put a ls1 style.

Yeah the V has the sealed ball bearing that sits right at the end of the crank. You will need the pilot for the F-body like you said.
