no. LS1 = push type clutch, LT1 = pull type clutch.

How much different would it be to swap a clutch it a lt1 VS a ls1 ? With the fact that it is a pull style ?

There's just too much involved for this....

Just about every parts is completely different

bellhousing, trans, hydraulics, etc.


however, I would like to see some kinda conversion, if not a pull style for LS1's, then at least a cable/quadrant setup like Ford...

The LT1's pull style was not without its demons, but it had FAR less problems than the current LS1 push type
