5.3 vortec + T5 Hello
I have 5.3 Vortec LM7 and TKO T5 transmission maybe from mustang? because it has 10 spline input shaft.
It has type plate with these:
E5ZR-7003-EA REP-AG1
13-52-168 10691 D 763
So what clutch and flywheel i need? I read that they use ls1 clutch with camaro T5 but it has 26 spline intake shaft. I also need bellhousing and chevy's big block -621 is right. But some said transmission won't be in right angle and some said it will.
Some said that mustang input shaft is longer than camaros. my friend has mustangs bellhousing so maybe i could use that and adapter plate?
He also has ls3 clutch and 6.2 vortec flywheel and clutch but those are useless.
Biggest problem is that i live in finland and everything has to be ordered from usa and it takes quite long so i dont want to order wrong parts

The ford T5 will have a different trans/bellhousing bolt pattern, longer input shaft, different diameter shaft and pilot bearing diameter.
Several people over at the C3 corvettefurum have made adapters/spacer for SBC motors to use the ford T5. You may find a combo that will work on an LS motor from that info.

The 13-52-168 is from a turbo 4 cylinder Mustang. The pilot tip will be a different size. You might want to order a custom LS clutch disc with 10 spline hub.
Adapter plate between trans. and bell might be prefable vs. adapting between bell and engine block.
A V8 Camaro T5 would be preferable, yes.
