wouldn't work, The T56 uses a different flywheel, bellhousing, and pressure plate. The flywheel is 14'' in diameter and has 168 teeth.

Only partially correct....

The T-56 flywheel is 12.8", and has 153 teeth. Same size as the one for T-5.

It is different in other respects though.

Right, the T-56 flywheel will definitely not work with a T-5 clutch setup.

The flywheel from a 86-92 305 will bolt right up to the LT1. I'd try to find the lighter weight one, that came on TPI motors; instead of the heavier one from TBIs.

Yes the same clutch will work.
