I don't see why you could not use the LS3 clutch setup if you are using a mechanical adjustable clutch setup .

You can use the LS3 flywheel. Check out my build thread. Link in sig.

I used a Richmond 6spd with an L92. As far as the flywheel and transmission fitment it will be the same as your LS3/TKO combo.

I happened to see this thread while looking for information on my build. I want to mate up an LS3 to my current TKO500. Do you have any documentation on this? Please reply!

Do you have a specific question? You should use the above mentioned LS7 clutch, unless you want to spend more or you need something different. You need to use the larger "Corvette" pilot bearing, not the small "f-body" bearing...

This would be the bellhousing that I would use:

Thanks for the quick reply. I just recently started to build my 73 back up. I let it sit for about 10 years and now I am thinking of putting in a LS3. Honestly I don't know where to start. Currently, I have my SB 350 mated up to the Tremec TKO500. Did you say you had a build thread on what you did to mate up the LS to the TKO?

If you have a 73 Camaro, the first place to look is here:

Here is link to where I mated a Richmond 6 speed to a LS. A TKO500 will bolt up exactly the same way.
