I did the search for a t56 conversion to the 5.0 motor, and only came up with one informative result.

My question is if I have a GM (LT1) T56, do I just need the D&D Peformance bellhousing? Can I use the Lakewood scatter proof belhousig also?

TIA

GM trans doesn't work, only Ford and Viper work for sure. See http://www.ddperformance.com/index2.htm for T56 conversion help.

McLeod supposedly makes a bellhousing to couple a GM T56 to a 5.0, but I can't find the link, so I don't know if it is true or not.

I have also been converting over to a t56 in my 94 Cobra.
Recently picked up a (GM2) t56 from a camaro..
I have called around to just about every company that sells the ford t56 (KIT)
From D&D to Darkhourse u name it I called...... But it just seems like noone wants to get me any Conversion parts..... Like a bell,adapter,tailhousing,ect...

I finialy today got ahold of Mcleod... They are BY FAR the most HELPFULL!!!!
Their tech "Mr.Robert's" who designs parts for Tremec inc. ACTUALY ANSWERS THE PHONE IF U CALL ENUFF!!!
Check em out on WWW.MCLEODIND.COM
They offer everything under the sun you could possible want as far as converting to any set up!!!! Even for your stock to a hydrolic CLUTCH set up!!!

Their prices are even reasonable!!
