The Lt1 front cover won't accept the hydraulic bearing from the LS style T56, because it's not machined to accept the bearing. I considered getting my LT1 front cover machined to accept a hydraulic bearing, but I found a deal on a new LS style front cover, so I bought it, when I was converting my lt1 t56 to an LS style t56. I see no reason why you couldn't change the front cover to an LS style cover, and still run your current input shaft, although I personally haven't tried it. Let us know if you do this, please. I'd like to know if it works on an LT1 T56. That would be pretty trick!
