Default Lt1 t56 to 5.3 vortec

So I have a 1990 300zx that I put a lt1 and t56 into a while back, now I’m planning on dropping a 5.3 vortec in but can’t find a place to purchase the front plate and input shaft for the transmission and don’t wanna drop 2k on another t56. If someone could send a link to where I can purchase a conversion kit it would be much appreciated!

Ebay. You can get the viper input shaft fairly cheap on ebay too.

Since the car is already set up for the LT1 T56, couldn't he just run a truck spacer on the crank shaft and keep his trans?
