I was once sent a link to a company that cast a bellhousing,had a throw out bearing, and afew other parts needed to put a ls1 t56 behind a sbc. Any know of a company like that and have a link for it?? It was like $550 for the kit?

thanks

I believe this is who you are looking for:

I just swapped a LS1 T56 into my 66 BB Chevelle. I spoke with Weir and didn't like the fact that while bigger so I could use an 11in clutch, it wasn't and SFI bell. While the Weir bell includes the slave, the hydraulic master is extra and its up to the buyer to configure a bracket to make it work.

I like my feet so I ended up using the Mcleod SFI bell 8710-10 and the stock hydraulics from ATS at www.t56kit.com With the SFI bell, I stepped up to the Mcleod 12in clutch/PP combo to make sure all my 454s grunt gets to the ground.

Good Luck!

You may want to go a much simpler route. There is an aftermarket model T56 ( 1386-000-011)that has a front plate that accepts the original bell and release system of older GM applications so you can save on the instal . Contact a Tremec dealer and get the details.

i am getting ready to do this to my 81 z28. I am going to just use my stock stlye bellhousing and manual clutch set up. All i need to get is the Mcleod Adapter plate to bolt the T56 into a standard SBC bellhousing. I prefer this route since i do not have to worry about retro fitting a hydraulic clutch. Also the plate is only like 260.00

Thats the idea behind the 011 model( it comes with a steel adapter plate ). Use the bell and release system already there and not worry about conversion & cobbling.
