Default Chevy 350 T56

Does anyone know a nice bell housing and clutch assembly for a Chevy 350 to a Tremec T-56 swap?

Also I know this isn't a 3rd gen forum but I am building a 89 Camaro that is a purpose built SCCA GT1 car and I want to run a T-56 behind a 350 a have at the house before I run a LS based motor. Will I have a get a custom cross member built or is there any place out there that makes one.

You can use a LT1 T-56 and it will bolt right up, check out http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ for the swap parts.

Sphon has a crossmember that you can use, but it will be LT1 T56 specific behind a SBC or a LS1 specific T56 for a LS1 swap.

^I think the answer to that is "no," but don't quote me on that.

Also, that's a lot of money to spend if you're just going to put an LS in it anyway. A lot.

I've not tried it, and it seems that nobody else has either. I've got a 1992 Z28 with an LT1 T56 in it that is an autocross car and will be running AI and/or AV8SS in the future. I have the Spohn torque arm/crossmember setup but you can also get one from Andris Skulte that's just the crossmember (I've used them in other cars we've swapped and I really like them). Check with Andris if you just need the crossmember (www.skulte.com).
