Every V6 and V8 listed.
A non-OEM flywheel or starter swap would be required in some cases such as LT1 T56 allowing a 153 tooth flywheel on a production 4.3, 305 or 350 truck engine that came with a 168 tooth FW.
The 454 and 496 engines due to flywheel balance and crank bolt pattern need a non-OEM flywheel. Or an adapter, older style bellhousing and non-T56 clutch.
I don't know of any bellhousing setup to allow the I-4, I-5 or I-6 engines to bolt up but there's always a way. The gear ratios of all the different T56 units aren't ideal for a smaller engine however.
