a6t8vw Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hey guys, brief description of mysetup I have a 1973 350 chev and TH350 trans I just got a '98 WS6 T56 transmission with bellhousing . From what i read this will bolt up to my motor? I need help on selecting flywheel and clutch is there anything special that i need to know about when using t56 on gen I small blocks? what flywheel/clutch did you use? thanks for your time andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdk4219 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I believe the input shaft is not the right length for the LS1 T56. Thh LT1 t56 will go in however. Sell the LS1 unit, and buy an LT1 (you can probably make some $ on the deal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike kZ Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 You can use an LS1 tranny, but I think you need the Weir kit http://www.weirhotrodproducts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Weir has tremendous product knowledge, high quality pieces, support and will answer all your clutch related questions. Such great support is well worth the cost down the road.

deMideon Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I used the Weir kit and am extremely happy with it as well. I had a few reasons to do so, the stock slave sucks in my opinion, bad placement and I really didn't like the way the hoses hook up. Also I didn't want to use the pull type clutch, expensive and not many choices for flywheel clutch combinations. The Weir kit is the standard push type and uses a hydraulic throwout bearing. I love it! works better than anything I have used so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
