I just finished putting a T56 behind my gen 1 383 with 2 piece rear seal. I used an LS T56 with a $200 adapter plate and $20 extended pilot bushing. Doing it this way allows you to retain all the gen 1 flywheel/clutch/bell/linkage. No silly expensive custom flywheel, much larger & less expensive clutch selection than the LT pull style.

Also, Keisler just went out of business in January.....so their shifter relocation is now extinct. There's another company I think that makes a "kit" to do it for about the same price ($400ish). I've only seen them on ebay. I did it much cheaper with some creativity and robbing some CTS-V tranny parts along with a custom shifter base, but it's not a bolt-in deal for sure.
