Hello....fellas

Just wanted to introduce myself officially here since I have been lurking these boards for a while now. I have been gathering as much info about these conversions for a couple of months, but it tends to be overwhelming. So I am appologizing in advance for some newb questions I may have....
I am not a novice wrenching, but not a pro to say the least. I have done a dozen or so engine pulls with audis for turbo swaps, plus hondas when I was younger. So, I can wrench, but at this point i have a very little time and this swap will take the rest of it. I guess that's life, or how can I say it......... oh, I have a wife now, and I am not as free to go pulling a motor every other weekend. I look forward to learning from a lot of you guys guys for making this site.

I have my 951s to do a swap in, i picked up a LS1 engine from a camaro, and purchased the book already, (just waiting patiently for it)

now for my first newb question. c5 bellhousings for the adapter, do i use one from a 01 zo6? im assuming there is no changes since its still a c5?

1997-up Corvette (GM Part #12554980).

There is another C5 BH out there, but it's a one-piece for the automatic, and the LSX pressure plates won't clear it. The auto BH can be used on the LT1 with a 10.5 (10.4...) clutch.

Manual is coming...the 2nd time.

(One returned for Zip Code = my bad...sorry for the goof!
One wrong address = not my fault...)

hehe....no worries at all.... I get it now tho.

Thanks for the input on the bellhousing, the seller is making it sound "different" from a standard c5 bellhousing, hence the newb question.

As long as he doesn't think "different" means he can sell it for "more"
