T56 shifter
Lt1 bellhousing
Lt1 clutch fork
Lt1 flywheel if you have a 1 piece rear main seal or a center force flywheel if you have a 2 piece rear main .
Lt1 clutch
Lt1 clutch fork
Lt1 hydraulic line
3rd gen master cylinder
3rd gen clutch pedals
Spohn cross member

well i know for the most part what i need its jus id rather get everything in one package, ya knw? and couldnt i use the ls1 verision if i use the complete hydraulic setup? or is the input shaft jus too long?

 

I don't know . I have never used that style in a 3rd gen

 

the Ls1 tranny does not bolt to the old 350/305 block, only the LT1.

 

thats the thing, ive seen the bell housing before that will adapt it. i hvent found much on the thirdgen site but i knw theyre out there.

 

Hit up Andris over at http://www.skulte.com/ - he's done a number of them as well. He'd be able to answer any of your questions. He's even got an article here:

As for the LS1 tranny, the bellhousing, front plate, and input shaft are different (as well as how the slave works). If you use the LT1 pieces, it'll bolt right up (assuming you have the right clutch).

 

thanks for the info, ive read the article. i came across a company that makes a ls1 style t56->sbc kit. o and, mcleod offers aftermarket hydraulic bearings too so, decisions, decisions.

 

So.... who makes the kit?

 

Can you explain what you mean by the hydraulic lines will it not work my hydraulic lines? will i also have to replace my T5 crossmember to the LT1 crossmember or will it work?

 

Looks like the guy that posted that is banned. The post is **20** years old.

In before GAtsma 🙂

 

He must not hang around down here that much...
