So then buying the Lakewood/QuickTime bell housing and pilot bushing is all I need? I am purchasing the Katech ZR1 to LSx clutch and I am attempting this project myself so excuse my ignorance.


What about the throwout bearing? Would that change as well?
I have been out of the scene for a while and I am motivated and excited to return.
You'll need a factory hydraulic throwout bearing, a master cylinder and associated plumbing. Lots of folks adapt the OEM master, there are also after market masters that have some adjustability http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mcl-1434002/overview/.

You should be aware that there are two styles of pilot bearing that fit LSx engines - one is the same size as the SBC/BBC version and sits in a recess in the crankshaft, the other is about 1.5" (best guess) in diameter and sits in a larger recess in front of where the smaller pilot would go. Obviously, the choice of pilot could affect the depth of the required bell housing. You should confirm with your bell housing vendor which pilot you need.
