Has anyone put the ZF 6 speed behind an Alum 6.0 LS motor. I have the motor out of an 04 Escalade and a new ZF 6 speed but am running into problems finding a bell housing that will work with 168 tooth flywheel.
The stock bell won't accept the big wheel that the 6.0 uses and I don't know if they make a starter with the right offset to accomodate the smaller wheel.
I talked to Bill at ZR-51 and he said you needed to use the T-56 bell housing with an adapter plate $600, a longer input shaft in the trans $600, and $600 to install and optimize the trans.
I am looking for a cheaper solution and I will find one just don't know how long it will take.
Hoping someone has already run this rabbit.
This set up is going in our 69 Camaro.
