No they dont... my advice? Sell ME the motor for 1100 and call it the day
ON A SERIOUS NOTE.... I would check with Mcleod. They seem to have a ton of applications that may fit your needs. I would call them first and feel them out.

A Lakewood15005 is supposed to mount a the Muncie/Borg Warner/Saginaw family of transmissions to the LSx family of engines. I believe the Tremec mounts the same as those transmissions. I believe McLeod also makes a bellhousing for this application.

If you're talking about a tk0600 they are hands down way better than the 6 spd. The torque rating is way higher and a bit nicer gear ratios. I think any of the companies mentioned above could help.

youre kidding right? Stock for stock, tremec tko 5 speeds are stronger, usually easier to install, and some people claim they even shift nicer. the "weaker" tko is built to take 500 tq no problem, and the big daddy tko600 has been rumored to be fine at much higher than its 600 tq rating. Try that with anything short of a viper-prepped 6 speed and you're toast, and even the VP t56's are far from bulletproof. The only reason to go with a 6 speed is for the "wow" factor and the double-overdrive. Originally Posted by rocketman

A stock BBC bellhousing (large flywheel edition) will do the trick nicely. The only issue is whether or not the bell has the 12 o'clock bolt. Some do, most don't.ls6 zo6 motor with a tremec 5 speed?
Or, you can use an adapter machined out of .800 thick aluminum to make the stock ls6 bell bolt to the Tremec.
Or use the Lakewood pn mentioned above, but be sure to indicate it in.
