It'll work just fine. You'll need the Centerforce flywheel if you've got a 2 piece rear mainseal block. Check out the tech articles section -

You don't need the centerforce flywheel if you run the McLeod hyd. throwout for the LT1 T56, a 153 flywheel (83-85 L69 application) and a normal 10.4 diaphram clutch. The throwout isn't cheap, but replacement clutches are cheaper than the LT1 style clutches.

About to do this swap myself.
