Default SBC Clutch on the LS1?

Does anyone know if the 11" SBC clutch/pressure plate will bolt on the LS1 flywheel?

I have a very low mileage Centerforce on the 90s 350 engine (Gen1). I paid too much $$ for it to go to waste.

Thanks,

I have an SBC clutch on my Sachs 1050 (4.8/6.0) flywheel. A few holes in the pressure plate need enlarged a touch and two dowel pins have to come out of the flywheel. And you need metric bolts. The old 3/8" SBC bolts will thread in, but strip out when you tighten them down.

The 11" clutch will bolt to the sachs flywheel, but not the LS1 flywheel.

I have a centerforce clutch. The pressure plate has numerous mounting holes compared to the stock pressure plate which only has the required holes. I guess when I pull it, I will have to line it up and check.

When I picked mine up, I made sure everthing lined up at the Oreileys counter before I paid. Easy to return when you havn't even left the store.
