They are too dissimilar for it to even be worth it. First off, the LT1 uses a 1-piece case wheras the LS1 has a two piece. You'd only be able to use 5 of the 8 bellhousing bolts, since the LS1 has one at the very top wheras the LT1 is biased towards the passanger cylinder head and the LT1 has zero that can go to the oil pan. The LT1 uses a 298mm Torque Converter, which is about 1/2" thinner than the LS1's 300mm Converter. With a 300mm converter, you also need a different stator support and turbine (input) shaft, but it won't all fit in the LT1's bellhousing once the converter is installed.
