I'm going to be a running a 93-97 T-56 with my 2 piece rear main 350. I currently have the McLeod flywheel for this adaptation ( part number 460305 ) and the centerforce duel friction clutch and pressure plate for the T56. My problem is that I'm trying to run ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts but I can't seem to find the right ones. I ordered ARP's flywheel bolts (part number 200-2802), but they don't go all the way into the crank, so i'm wondering if i need a longer bolt for the McLeod flywheel. Also, ARP's pressure plate bolts ( part number 230-2202 ) don't even go all the way through centerforce's pressure plate. Both the flywheel and pressure plate bolts are the correct thread and diameter, but the lengths don't seem right. Does anyone know what ARP part numbers I need to get this setup to work correctly? I was told by centerforce that I can use stock LT1 pressure plate bolts but I would really like to use stronger fasteners with this application (should be around 410 HP hopefully ) Thanks for all the help.

ttt... anyone?

LT1 Pressure Plate bolts have a long shank and short, small threads. Are you using "third gen" PP bolts? Those won't work w/ the LT1 PP. They only have to hold the PP to the FW, not the hp, so go w/ stock ones. I would strongly advise cleaning the threads up on the FW before you install them.

As for the FW bolts, I don't remember the LT1 wheel being thicker there, but I also remember McLeod doing things "differently" and letting the customer figure crap out.
