This might be a stuiped question, but is there a bellhousing that will allow a t5 to fit on a ls1?

Like the same T5 that came in the third gens?

God damn I hope not, they didnt put those behind 350 TPI engines b/c they wouldnt hold up...

Ls will destroy a T5. Don't do it.

A 621 will allow an f body T5 to bolt up to an LS. The trans will be at a 15 degree angle though. And as pointed out, might not laast long.
One of the hi performance Mustang T5s might be a better choice. You'll need to swap out the 2.95 input shaft with a GM version. And an 86 Astro Van T5 bell housing has the correct bolt pattern for the mustang trans and SBC/BBC/LSx block.

I have a "world class" t5 in the I'm selling. I wouldn't dare put it behind the ls but is suppose to be stringer than your t5

Oh and I know of a bell housing made for that purpose

a built t5.. behind a STOCK 4.8 of 5.3 in say an old classic resto car that wont be driven hard... might hold up.. even still highly doubtful... if i was building an old hotrod id use a Super T-10 anyways.. those will bolt up and are freakin tough transmissions. im into old school tho

Expensive bell, about as much as a trans.

An M-van V6/T5 bell ( astro) would not have the tilt & would likely be cheaper.....rare though.
