This is probaly gonna be a stupid question, but it is a question none the less:

I'm a newbie on teh T56, so just be patient, as I have some questions:

I picked up a built T56 that came from a LT1, that I am putting behind my LS. Now, I know (well, I think I do) have to replace the midplate and teh input shaft. What about the Bellhousing? I mean, I do know that the LS based motors use 1 less bellhousing bolt than a standard SBC, but what about mounting depth? Does the input shaft take care of that? Or does the midplate? Why does the midplate have to be replaced? I would like to use a scattershield since the car is gonna see the track, so does Lakewood or Mcleod or anyone make one?

Thanks

Tremec has lost their damn minds on the LT1 bell housings . They use to be cheap but now they are well over $200 retail .

Gen414,

Big Bird above, mentioned he had a Quicktime for sale. They are a nice SFI bellhousing and significantly lighter than the McLeod. I have had both.

Dwn Cam

Quicktimes housing is for the LS T-56.

he said he was changing the input and faceplate so it will work. I love my quicktime bell. My little piggys don't wiggle in fear everytime I launch the car now

Ahh yes, I guess I over looked that.

Yes, it is a nice unit, but a little more than I wanted to spend right now on a bellhousing. I have been able to locate one (mcleod modualr) that is more up my alley.


Yes, the midplate and input shaft are being swapped over as well for LS compatibility.
