Default LT1 t-56 to BBC

I have an lt1 t-56 which I am going to be putting behind my bbc. I have all the stuff to make it work with a stock bellhousing but i would really like to go to a blow proof bellhousing and a push style clutch. Does anyone know if this is possible to do? I assume that Mcleod makes the parts needed but I am waiting to recieve a catalog from them to find out.

Also who do you guys reccomend to do upgrade work on the t-56 to make it stand up to 490hp and 505ft/lb?

You may have better luck on nastyz28.com as far as the BBC/T56 setup goes.

As far as upgrade work..check out t56rebuilds.com (joe)

Alright I am already on nastyz28.com same screenname there. Only one person has really had any advice at all for me on it over there.

As for the upgrades, I talked to amber last night and I am going to buy a 45 gallon rubbermaid container tonight.

go here:

www.t56kit.com and then call them!

They are the one's you want to talk to. Thay have already done the legwork and can sell you a kit with all the special brackets, trans crossmember, and the modifications needed to get it to work in your Camaro.

I will give them a call

The trans has already been in the car with stock bellhousing and hydraulics. I am just wanting to change to a push style clutch instead of the excessively expensive pull style lt1 clutch.

Sounds like what you are really looking for is an LT1 to LS1 system swap. Do a search as there ore many posts on that.
