Default LT1 T56 Components for conversion questions.

I am compiling the components I need for my LT1 T56 conversion. Other than the obvious, clutch, pressure plate, clutch fork, what other parts will I need? I read something about a slave cylinder bracket/spacer. I appreciate any advise.

I have an LQ4 and will be using a LT1 T56. I have been gathering parts for the T56 and wanted to make sure I have all of the parts for the set up.

The easiest way would be to treat the system like a LS. Using LS flywheel,disc and pressure plate. Then install one of our 1400-22 internal hyd braring kits that would slide on the 3" long guide tube.

Oh ok....

Easy:

LS1 T56 midplate and bellhousing
LS1 Input shaft
LS1 slave cylinder/TOB and MC
LS1 Flywheel/clutch disc/PP (Monster Clutches on sale right now, check link in signature for pricing )

Thats it, you are done.

Guys,

I appreciate all of the input and advise. My question is,what parts and pieces are required in an OE LT1 T56 set up, i.e., clutch fork, pivot ball, etc.? I have a Quicktime bell housing, modified LS flywheel to accept a LT5 pressure plate and clutch disc. I have read that a slave cylinder spacer is required and mounting parts for the clutch fork. I'm looking for a parts list for the LT1 set up so I can make certain I have all of the parts neededto get my set up complete.
