Mating a SBC/BBC Trans (T10, Muncie, Richmond, TKO) with an LS motor

In order to use the SBC clutch, you'll need the Sachs flywheel, probably want to index and balance the assembly. In addition, I think it needs to be the 11" clutch for the 168 tooth flywheel.
Just go with Andrews suggestion and the long throwout bearing.

Ok, this is the 3rd time in a couple of days here that I've tried to respond to this. The first times I had pictures of my crank flange, this time I'll post without and see if it goes through. The picture was just to confirm that I have the flush flange.
Basically I wanted to thank both of you guys, cula8r and Gary for responding. I really appreciate your help.
Also, I already have a friction disc and pressure plate that came off of a SBC that only have a few hundred miles on them.
Is it NOT an option to bolt them to a regular LS flywheel?
Neither of you recommended that option, which seems like it would be the cheapest/easiest in my situation. I'm curious of you rationale why I would not go that route?

FWIW, I'm still trying to go manual. I have the zbar, bought the relocating bracket, and have a set of long-tube headers that look like will clear without a problem. But don't want to confuse this great resource/thread by posting that until I can confirm. It'll be a while, just had shoulder surgery, trying to get the rest of parts around so I can be ready to start thrashing out some progress when I'm mobile in a few weeks.

I can tell you 02 vette Z06 exhaust manifolds will clear the z bar and flow as well as most aftermarket headers. Also keep in mind you have 3 stock locations (bellhousing, A body, corvette brackets) on the engine to mount the Z bar and can easily relocate the frame mount depending on engine location.
Excellent guys. This is the rationale I needed. I would not have thought the LS6 and LS7 were different, and if I have to replace part of it in the future I can come back to this and know why I shouldn't pick up my SBC parts that will inevitably still be sitting in a dusty corner and not try to put them on.

I'm currently running this with my TKO600 very satisfied.

Hydraulic Throwout bearing options for TKO?
Here's my parts list. I have everything except my mystery throw out bearing
6.0
LS7 clutch and flywheel
Ancient Lakewood Blowproof (sbc style)
GM TKO 500
LS1 Master cylinder
G-body chassis
Hydraulicthrowout bearing??
I'm in the process of removing 406/TKO combo (mech clutch linkage). I'd like to re-use my TKO rather than a t56.
I didnt realize a hydraulic TO bearing would be a challenge on a TKO. Is there anyone aware of a kit that allows the use a modern style hyd TO bearing on a older style transmission?
I don't want to run a slave cylinder because G bodies dont really allow for that for both clearance and bell housing issues
If anyone sees an issue with the parts list above, please let me know. Thanks
***looks like i found it*** posting for others benefit.
If anyone sees conflicting parts in my list please let me know

**UPDATE**
RAM hydraulic TO DOES NOT CLEAR LS7 CLUTCH
It is clearly NOW stated on RAMs website

Looks like I should have gone with LSFOX suggestion and ran a tilton. Now I have $600 tied up in release bearings, and I get to pull the trans back out of the car.

Is the T10 26 or 10 spline input shaft?

It is a 26 spline input
