Not sure on how the Quicktime bolts up.
Check to see if they supply an adapter pilot bearing and if that rides in the inner vs outer crank flange.
If the bell fits an LS1 flywheel/clutch and/or Sachs 1050 BBC 11" clutch.
What disc works with the ford input shaft and flywheel/pressure plate.
What throwout bearing and fork to use.

Btw, someone used to sel an LS 153 tooth flywheel. Problem was it needed an expensive one off starter. Not sure if that's even available anymore, but avoid that.

What's a 610 bell?
The 6.0 flywheel (Sachs 1050) is the same as 4.8. It bolts to the 11" clutch used in late 60/early 70s cars.
If you change input shaft you still need to address the the ford bolt pattern. Is the swap bell in the link the correct depth for a GM input?
