Assuming the LT1 trans is NOT a 1993 model:
- LS1 input shaft
- LS1 front case plate
- Ls1 Bellhousing and clutch hydraullics

Should be quite a few hits here by doing a search, it's been covered before.

I jsut finished up mine:

As mentioned above, but will help you out with prices:

This is how MINE broke down,

$100 with shipping for LS1 input and midplate (used, from a baord member)
$223 with shippingfor a Mcleod SFI bellhousing (used from a board member)

- $100 for teh sale of my LT1 input shaft
- $85 for the sale of my LT1 midplate, bellhousing, and LT1 clutch fork, slave cylinder and master cylinder.

So:

$323
-$185

$138 is what I paid for hard parts to convert my tranny over to a LS1 based from LT1.

Now, I also had to buy a slave, but it came with the clutch I bought. I also need to pick up a Master cylinder as well, which can range from @ $150 to $350, depending on which route you go. I HIGHLY recomend you buy a NEW slave cylinder though, do NOT use a used one.

I also picked up a Viper input shaft and midplate taht I am gonna try one day as well...along with the output shaft but that is a story for another day.

If you can not find a used input or midplate, etc....

A new input will run you @ $200 and a midplate will run @ $300, and then a bell will set you back @ $200. So, I recommend trying to find used
