....help me settle a friendly discussion. Guy says an early LT1 era t56 won't bolt up to an LO3. Bell housing bolt holes are different. In all my years i've never encountered an LO3, but I can't think why it wouldn't work. ...i could be wrong.

Mine bolts right up to a 83 L69... no reason it won't to a L03.

Oh man I know. You're so right, and I hate that I sunk down to that level.
