cltch and flywheel set up for t56

i have a factory 84 flywheel and clutch set up, will this work when i go to put in my t56 from a 94 camaro?

i need to get crossmember and drivshaft and it should go in...but i wasnt totally sure about the fly wheel i did a quick search and it looks like i dont need a new flywheel, but i wanted to make sure.

does the 94 t56 need a skip shift eliminator?
how do i go about making my speedo work?

a question for far off future, will the ls1 bolt on to the 94 t56?(bolt patern wise)

No. Not even remotely dimly close. You need the "conversion" flywheel such as Centerforce 700107, and a stock-configuration LT1 T-56 clutch; which is COMPLETELY different from a T-5 or any other clutch. Completely weird.

You've already got the drive shaft, unless you threw away your old one.

Yes you'll need a crossmember.

No it doesn't need !CAGS. Just leave that solenoid off, and plug the hole. There's a threaded oil drain plug you can get at AZ, NAPA, Advance, etc. that's perfect. I don't recall what size I used. It's BIG though. Same for the reverse "deny" solenoid. That one is a 30mm freeze plug IIRC; quite common and readily available.

You need either the Jags That Run conversion extension housing (see JTR's web site) or the Abbott Cable-X box. Cost is roughly similar either way.

Personally I'd recommend the JTR thing since it doesn't involve moving parts. That's what I'd do. Oh wait ..... I already did.

Yes the bolt pattern is the same (or close enough ... 1 bolt is different) between SBC and LS1. There are other issues however. I would hesitate to say for sure that it "will" work, or that it "won't"; but I rather have my doubts.
