new goodie
i got this new tranny yesterday in to put it in my truck behind a 454. the only problem i got is that i don't know what clutch to use or what pilot bushing. its a t56 of a 95 maro. i know that "shifty" is doing a similar swap but with a 5.3 in front of it. but its similar to the ls1 so there is parts available. but in this case i don't know what clutch assembly to use. i know i have to use the 454 flywheel because since is a gen 5 its externally balanced, but since the tranny is a 26 spline input shaft i have to use either the maro clutch disk or something else. Now i did some research and found out that the maro clutch disk is 11 7/8" in diameter, but a regular clutch set for the flywheel that my 454 requires has a 11 inch clutch disk. now my question is....
would it affect it if i use the 11 7/8" clutch disk in the 454 flywheel? or clutch disk and pressure plate should i use? here are some pics. i know that the bellhousing is broken, but i got another one coming in the mail =D   here is the engine is going in

Re: new goodie
That is a LOT of engine for a tranny that has problems handling the power of a stock small block. I cannot answer the clutch question specifically though.

Re: new goodie
I looked into this same swap for my 71.
You can google this swap it's pretty common. It's been a bit since I looked, but here's what I remember. Toss away the factory bellhousing. There is an adapter plate (found on ebay) that you use on a factory 4 spd bell, a 621 works I think. Because you keep your stock bell you can use the stock clutch as well. Just make sure you get the 26 spline one for a t-10. The fork and throwout are the same too. I think. The only trouble is the speedo, becuase that one is electronic, but someone makes an adapter. Try keisler engineering. Not too thorough but I hope it helps
