Help me decide (T56 bellhousing)

[Musclerodz]

The LT-1 bellhousing will bolt to older small blocks no problem. I think it is also mounted straight up, but not sure on that. Tyler (ATS) would know.

The answer to that is yes. But we prefer to use scatter shields from McLeod for any performance build, heavily modified engine package or any chassis that is going to be used in sanctioned racing that requires SFI products.

Also-
If you have the retro fit style T56 with a front adapter plate, the stock LT1 bell will not bolt up to the trans. The bell will bolt to the engine, but the adapter plate my need to be removed.

I have '95 Gen. V 454 BBC, a '94 LT1 bellhousing and wanting to use a '93-'02 F-Body T-56 trans. Will this combination work? Will I need an adapter plate or will the F-body T-56 bolt directly to the LT1 bellhousing? It looks from the threads above the LT1 bellhousing will bolt to the BBC 454, correct?
