T56?

Will a T56 bolt up to a 77' cast iron 350 block?
Thank you!

I would say you can get it to. You just need to get the correct bellhousing. I know they make a setup for the 1st gen, and if I remember correctly there is a guy here locally that has a 6 spd in his 79Z.

Thank you FantaZ. I suppose this is a modern part and not something like a bellhousing off a TH350?

Hey, Glenn, I thought the bell housing bolts right up (or you can use the one from an LT1), but you need a spacer or special flywheel to make it work. I was out looking around on the web and that is what seems to be happening. I mean, the bolt pattern is the same between gen I/II bell housings, aren't they? I saw some info in this thread from another site.

The only thing that is the Pita is you will need to get a Flywheel for the 2 piece rear main, not to cheap. But there are guys on the other boards running them in early model Camaro's

That'd work as well. Don't know if the bell housing or flywheel would be cheaper, but you know the deal.

What is special about the adapter flywheel? ie. Alignment of the bolt pattern? Is it something I can fabricate? I have access to a mill & lathe.
