Default Help This Clutch Newbie

Guys...I'm lost in my clutch installation. I have a 5.3 Vortec. I want to use a T56 behind it. I purchased a stock LS1 flywheel. I verified it fit my 5.3 crank hub. That checked out fine. I bought an 11" Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch. It's too big for my stock LS1 flywheel. I was under the impression that this clutch should have fit with the stock LS1 flywheel. Obviously, I need a bigger flywheel. If I purchase a flywheel that will work with this clutch, will it fit under my stock T56 bellhousing? What starter will I have to use for the bigger diameter?

Anyone? Probably got too wordy...

Simpler question. Is there a factory flywheel that will work with my 11" Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch? It is a 5.3 with a F-car LS1 T56.

Can you return the clutch? If it was sold to you to fit an LS1, it should fit the flywheel

An LS1 flywheel matches with LS1 clutch.

Does your starter mesh properly with the new "LS1" flywheel?

Turns out the flywheel is wrong. Surprised it mounted to my 5.3 crank.

If you need a proper LS1 Steel or Aluminum flywheel let me know as we offer both. I would be happy to help you. Just hit me up if you need anything. Thanks,
