Default 14 spline T5 to LSX?

I've read all the thread of mating a gen 1 tranny to an lsx as well as the GM T5(26 spline, V8) but haven't come across anyone that has tried a GM T5 from a v6 thirdgen f-body with the 14 spline input shaft. I have a Sachs 1050 flywheel, 621 bellhousing and planned on using a Howe hydraulic TOB. I'm still gathering parts and the tranny is behind a vortec 350 right now. Does anyone know if I would be able to use my current clutch(14 spline) with the lsx flywheel?
Please don't reply if you're just going to say its a waste and the T5 won't hold! I'm strictly inquiring about whats needed to make it work together.

You'd have to get a custom clutch disc made for it but its doable.

will my current clutch disc not bolt to the lsx/Sachs 1050 flywheel?
Is anyone aware of a company making one?

Most LS flywheels use an 11" disc. You're going to need the proper diameter disc with the 14 spline hub in the middle of it. Most clutch companies can put together something for you as long as you know what you need.
