Just did it, and carb'ed too. You don't need any expensive adapters, special flywheels, nothing but off-the-shelf stuff.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=421258

1) flywheel (99-06 4.8L/6.0L manual trans, p/n NFW1050) $60
2) LS2 pilot bearing (p/n 12557583) $18
3) LS2 flywheel bolts (p/n 12553332) $45
4) 12" clutch kit (or whatever fits your SM465 - 11"?) $120
5) pressure plate bolts

I'm not sure about your bellhousing, whether you need the bbc version or not, I'm using a truck NP833 and it fits fine. Just a note, I bought the standard pressure plate bolts and they weren't long enough for my comfort, these flywheels are really thick so I got longer grade 9 bolts from McMaster-Carr. Everything fits like a glove.
