Default adapter for four speed?

Guys, a quick question:

what is required for installing a Muncie M21/22 behind a 5.3, etc?

i have a SBC 70 Nova with a M21 and i want to keep the four speed but install an LS style engine. i am trying to wrap my head around the clutch problem this ensues. i will be staying carb'd. i do not know yet what i will be using for adapter plates/motor mounts. i am in the research stage of my build right now.

Thanks.

I'm assuming a 10 spline input shaft.
A 621 BBC bell housing.
An LS7 pilot bearing.
NFW1050 flywheel (supposed to be drilled for LS and older SBC gen 2 clutch, but have not confirmed).
Standard Gen 2 11" clutch
Throwout bearing will depend on pivot ball adjustment and geometry.

The fly wheel above works
ls7 pilot bearing
same clutch bell and throwout bearing will work.

I built my own bracket to hold the z bar stud

Everything you need in a kit.

I'm betting your 57 housing is a 153 tooth. It wont work. A 621 BBC bell will fit. You'll also need the LS7 pilot bearing.
