WHat motor? If you are swapping to a T56 that is in the car, you swap the same flywheel if it is a 1 piece rear main motor that is going in, if not you need a swap flywheel for the older transmissions with a two piece rear seal.

They should be in the same place and even might have the holes there to use the LT1 motor mount mounting points.

Mine? I stole the cable off of a third gen TBI car

Had to mod it a bit to make it fit, but it worked great.

Whatever floats your boat, i hate EFI since i cannot tune it myself, so i say carb, not to mention the heads are cheaper for the SBC.

I used a stock pan. The LT1 pan and a older pan are the same dimensions.
