Say a 80's style small block. Do they all bolt up or did the bellhousing patern change at any time. Anything else to look out for? Will a standard old style flywheel work with the newer trans? - I am looking to swap a 6 Spd into a 70 Chevelle behind a 406 Small Block.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

I am fairly sure you can use a 6 speed from a 93-97 LT1 car but hopefully someone else will chime in and let you know for sure

Thanks, I guess I am wondering about the LS1 cars.

If you have the old bell and release system, you would be better off going with a T56 made for older applications. The 1386-000-011 is an aftermarket model made for GM retro-fits.It accepts the old fork, clutch. T-O bearing and 4-bolt bell.

I think I can find a used trans cheaper than an aftermarket. Does anybody know if the LS1 bolt pattern on the bellhousing is the same as the older motors. I am talking about the bolt pattern on the motor where the bellhousing bolts to.

Thx.

The LS1 bellhousing and input shaft are both incompatible.
