Alright I have a 88 firebird with a 402 chevy big block with a beefed up t5 and I'm running the Lakewood bell housing for the 82-92 fbody so I could run a 11.5 clutch and flywheel I bought it off eBay at the time it said t 56 would bolt to it so now I have a 95 t56 from a lt1 I wanna put it a boom bolt pattern doesn't exist for it I'm told I could use a lt1 bell housing but I'd have to get a custom made flywheel and switch it to a pull style does anyone know whom would make one or do u guys think I should drill and Tap the Lakewood bell housing has anyone ever done this cause I really don't wanna shell out 500 for another bell housing or does anyone know of a kit for this

 

The LT1 T56 will require a special conversion flywheel and it' own sized bellhousing. A LS1 T56 can be used with an adapter plate ($200) and use your existing T5 clutch/bell/linkage, you just need an extended pilot bushing.

You have several options, you just need to figure out which path you prefer or can afford, then go from there..

Do u know the name of the site or company that makes the adpater plate for the ls1 I'll just sell one I have and buy one for the ls1

 

Follow the "thegearbox" link I posted above and it'll take you right to it..

In addition, If you have the means you can pull off the front plate from the LT1-T56 and just swap in a LS1 input shaft, reshim it, and sawsall off the TOB guide tube. The adapter plate will then work the same.
