Default Running a T56 on a ls1 with fewer bellhousing bolts
Hi,
I am doing a swap with a ls1 and a camaro t56.

i need some extra clearance and need to shave off two top outermost bellhousing bosses.

Am i going to be ok running two fewer bellhousing bolts?

What oil pan?

Some oil pans, like the Moroso pan I have, eliminate the two bolts that go into the stock oil pan. If you still have this two, I would think you would be ok.

SHould be fine. I always leave out the top most bolt on RX-7 swaps as they are a PITA to get to.

The dowels hold the load.

The quicktime bell has a lot more clearance, all around, if thats what your after.
