Default Which QuickTime bellhousing?

If someone can help, this is probably a stupid question but I'm still learning and I do not want to purchase the wrong part so any help would be appreciated.
I'm mating a LQ4 to a T56 magnum and was wondering which QuickTime bellhousing to use. Would it be the
RM-8020 or the RM-8020PB. Not sure if it matter or not but I will be using the tilt on hydraulic release bearing and a monster clutch.

Thanks in advance.

Do you plan to align the housing to the center line of the crank? If so I would advise you to call them. They told me yesterday that you will have to use a face plate off of a t56 and bolt it to the housing to get a circle to index from. As far as the part number goes, when I used their "Bellhousing Selector" http://info.quicktimeinc.com/product...-selector.html
I came up with another part number but after further messing with it I came up with yours. Check out this link http://browellbellhousing.com/. You will be able to index off of their housing and after talking to them I have more faith in their product than Lakewood. I have no experience with them other than my conversation with them yesterday. They may have the same reputation as Quicktime.

RM-8020PB is configured for a mechanical clutch actuation. The PB code stands for "pivot ball" which references the pivot point for the clutch fork. If you intend to use a hydraulic clutch, then RM-8020 would be the correct selection.

As of yesterday they did. That is when whoever answered the phone said that the one they make for the T56 for the LS engine would have a round hole in the back of the housing that would be centered on the input shaft of the T56 so you could index off of that hole and the crank. What is their reputation?
