Danno74Z Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 LT1 Experts, I'm moving along (very slowly) on my 1995 LT1/T56 install and I need some expert advice. I'm going to use the Weir bellhousing with my setup. I know a few members have used or will be using Weir's bellhousing with the T56 transmission and a standard 350-400 cu in. SBC engine. Here is my question. What flywheel and clutch can I use on my LT1 so it "acts" as a standard push type transmission setup. (Weir's product does not use a clutch fork but a hydraulic throwout bearing similar to the LS1 unit.) I called Bob Weir and mentioned what I wanted to do but he was not sure about the LT1 engine specifically. (Using his product with the T56 is not an issue.) If I'm not mistaken, isn’t the LT1 a standard 350 with a one-piece rear seal. If this correct, I should be able to use any 350-clutch/flywheel combinations for a one-piece rear main seal. Am I right in this assumption? Naturally, my other concern was about the balance of this setup, but this should not be an issue if the flywheel and clutch I purchase are balanced. Any help would be great!!!! Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yes, the LT1 should be fine with the one piece rear seal 350 flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZRNR Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Before you spend any money on a flywheel you need tio verify that your engine is balanced externally or internally. Then order the flywheel for your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
