I have a LT1 T56 behind my 355 and was wondering if they make a scatter shield bellhousing for it. I've seen LS1 versions but not a LT1 version. Im sure Im just missing it. Does anyone know who makes one. Thanks

Quicktime and McLeod both have LT1-T56 SFI bellhousings.

Any recomendadtions to which one would be best for a 3rd gen fit. If heard that some hit and some fit a little odd but when it comes to someone with one in thier car they dont say which one they are running

No expirence on a third gen but I have one on my new engine going in my 4th Gen just remember to have the blowshield "indexed" to the crank centerline (this may require offset dowel pins). This will insure the trans input shaft is in perfect alignment with the crank.

Cool man thanks for the tip as I thought it would just be like a stock bell housing. How would you index it by the way as Ive never heard of that. Im still a noob when it comes to some stuff

Cool and good to know as Id rather have that as I dont see why it would be off in any way as it is. What make is yours as Im looking for one for my LT1 T56 and there doesnt seem to be many companies making them for LT1 versions besides quicktime
