Re: ls1/t5
Possibly with a conversion bellhousing (McLeod), but you'll be throwing good money at bad. The crank flange is further in towards the motor to accomodate the longer LS1 T56 input shaft, and internal hyd slave cyl. Conventional (stock) T5/4-bolt bellhousings are sized for the SBC crank flange, which will leave a gap between input and crank/pilot.
