Starting T-56 Conversion

Re: Starting T-56 Conversion

Hrrrm... I wonder if I should just try and find a 168 tooth wheel that is drilled for a 10.5" clutch.... that'd be easier

i 168 tooth flywheel will not fit in the lt1 bellhousing

and like i said earlier the lt1 flywheel is specific to the lt1 trans so if your using an LTx trans you MUST use an lt1 flywheel

Re: Starting T-56 Conversion

is your trans lsx based or lt1 based?

when using an lsx based trans a stock 4.3 5 speed flywheel can be used (i recommend it also) along with a stock 4.3 starter

Mid 90's Camaro...that's all I know. :tdown:

Nope. my trans is from a 305 (1988) F-body, but it's using a bellhousing from a fullsize 75 or so truck so I can fit a 168 under there (it's on them motor right now over my 168 flexplate). Trying to get a lightish flywheel without spending a ton of $$$

Tippman243,

Are you aware that my truck is a working 6-spd AWD 4.3 Syclone?

I'm not bragging, it just seems like you are not understanding that I have one that works.

No offense,

Robert Lone



Please don't take that the wrong way...

Yeah, thats happened a couple times.... T56 is too heavy for the 1 extra gear (it's the same ratio anyway)

It's like 35% heavier than the T-5 ... with the f-body gears it's almost the same anyway.... my OD is .68 to the T56 .62
