Pretty much it... There are other bells that physically fit but will only take a 10.5" clutch, which the LS never had (only 11"). And aftermarket "small" clutches are way more $$$ than the adapter bell.

You can always sell the Ford TKO and buy a GM one...

Didn't we cover this a while back?

One other option. Some aftermarket T5 cases (G force?) can be ford or GM bell to trans bolt pattern. That would allow you to use a 621 bell with GM 2.95 input shaft (if your ford is 2.95) and a GM retainer.

Might be expensive too but would eliminate the issue of finding a Ford disk that will work with a GM pressure plate/flywheel.

I forgot to lol. I abandoned the project since then went out of town working. I guess im gonna buy the quicktime because my tko is already faceplated an dont want to hassle with all that again. Ill just call spec an get the pressure plate for an ls an clutch disc for a ford input surely they could hook me up with somwthin you think?

I have a Ford TKO to LS Quicktime BH for sale. I can save you some bucks from a new one. It is in good shape with about 1000 miles on it. I have since went to a T56 and no longer need it. I also have a custom clutch that can go with it. It is not a race clutch but it held my 400hp no problem.

PM me your contact info and we can talk!

Here it is bolted to my LS:
