Default Another LT1 T56 behind LSx thread

Tried searching but couldn't come up with any recent answers.
I know they make conversion flywheels and pilot bearing adaptors to put an old style 4/5 speed behind the LS motors. Does anyone yet offer a flywheel that would work with the LT1 T56?

Or, I saw someone ask about the adaptor plate that lets you run an old style clutch on an LS motor that will accept an LT1 T56. Has anyone done this yet?

Nobody seems to want to trade me my built 200 4R for an LS1 style T56, I keep getting offers for LT1 style trannies so I'm finally trying to explore all my options to decide if I want to deal with conversion stuff or not...

You can 'convert' a LTx T-56 to an LSx.
Look here all this info in the sticky section look thru the links

I know I can do all that but If I can already get one with a viper input shaft and an aftermarket scattershield, only set up for an LT1.
If there was a conversion flywheel or clutch set-up that could make it work then I'd have found a good deal. If I have to convert everything then it's not so much a deal

Never heard of that kind of set up offered.
You're kinda stuck running an LSx concentric slave set-up.

But you can run an old style 4/5 speed with the right flywheel.
Just didn't know if anyone made one you could use with a 6 speed...
