From what ive read swapping the bell housing and input shaft is all it takes but of course its only beneficial if you already have both to interchange parts. As i said its what ive read so im not too positive on that.

There are a couple of different routes, but all require "extra" parts, whether they be special spacers or bellhousings.

The easiest, most fool-proof, way to go is with the LS1 specific transmission.
