Default 5.3 to t56 tranny clutch and flywheel ?'s

have a 2001 5.3 and a 2000 t56 that i am putting in a 55 belair. was wondering if anyone knew if the NFW1050 SACHS flywheel and older clutch and pressure plate will work with the t56 I know it does going to a SM465 tranny. I went through the search function but did not see any info on this.

anyone have any experience with this set up? would it make the combination too long? i think the 1050 flywheel and older clutch is .400 longer than the stock ls1 flywheel and clutch, could i put a stop on my hydraulic clutch pedal to stop the travel of the TOB so it wont be damaged? Or is a ls1 flywheel and clutch set up my best bet? Ideas or thoughts.

I assume the T56 is from an LS1
There are quite a few 6.0 truck motors with LS1 T56s. Just get an F body LS1 flywheel, clutch, pilot bearing, and throwout bearing.
The sachs 1050 is great if you need a 10 spline clutch.
