Default Anyone know of a bellhousing that will fit...

the 2006 version of the LS2 with a T-56 aftermarket 6 speed? I was told that Lakewood 15005 will fit but the tech line says not going to happen. He knew of no others that will work at this point.

McLeod takes a ton of grinding and fab to get to fit a LSx motor from what I've heard. This includes grinding the bellhousing and even the block.

If you have to go aftermarket t 56 then I think the mcleod is your only option right now.

I've been told by Keisler that the Lakewood bell housing will fit the aftermarket T-56. Have I fallen for it again?
