i have a 68 chevy big block and right now i have a t-5 behind it io went with 82 flywheel was the only way i made it work but id like to do a t56 swap from a 95 but i dont care to fork out 600 to 700 for a damn bell housing if i go with a torque arm relocater kit can i use the lt1 belll housing i know the bottom two bolts wont have a place to go but think it would work ?

 

which bottom 2 bolts are you refering to?

 

BBC/sbc/lt1....all have the same pattern for the bellhousing...

it will BOLT up fine... the clutch components will need to be mismatched to make it work...but it will work.

 

The bottom two bolts that bolt into the pan on the 2 piece rear main seal

 

Please get a pic of that posted I've never seen it.

 

The 93-97 LT1 T56 bellhousing will bolt to the MkIV block fine. It does not have any bolts that attach it to the LT1 oil pan; just a few small ones for a dust shield.

You will have to use a 153 tooth flywheel. A 168 tooth / starter will not work in that bell.

I hope you have your clutch release / flywheel setup figured out?

 

Only ones I have saw with the bolts you are refering to are on a LS1 cast pan. A F-car T56 has a torque arm mount. Dean.
