Default SBC bell?

I know since Taner had his clutch explode there have been alot of threads about a certified bell. In one of them, cant find it, it mentions this site http://www.quicktimeinc.com/products.html

There is one for a t56-sbc so does anyone know if this will work? its just now available and from searching I have come up with two answers. (1) yes it will work with no modifications and (2) it will work with either a custom flywheel or a two pc rear main. Anybody have dealings with this company or know of their products?

If it will work with a SBC and a T56 it should work with a LT1, flywheel shouldn't matter. I'm sure someone else will come along and confirm, but I am pretty sure due to a few experiences I have had with LT1s, small blocks, and manual trannies all working out.

it will not work with an LT1 clutch and flywheel. The LT1 flywheel is thicker than a sbc flywheel. Also, i doubt that housing has provisions for the slave cylinder.

Im going to use a mcleod adapter, ls1 input shaft, standard sbc bellhousing, and an L98 153 tooth flywheel with a standard sbc clutch. LS1 style slave.

So in other words the bellhousing does not accept normal T56 hydraulics, clutch fork, etc?
