T56 pilot bushing/bearing
Morning all,
Does anyone have a pilot bushing/bearing that will work in a Pontiac 400 so I can use the Tick Plate adapter and my stock mechanical clutch linkage? Its an LS1 T56. Could potentially have a bearing made to go where the torque convertor went I suppose... Please let me know your thoughts, Joel |

The LS T56's have std GM input size of .590". You should be able to order a pilot bushing for any Muncie equipped Pontiac engine. The only issue I can see is if that adapter plate is too thick. It may require a longer pilot bushing (made to Pontiac dimensions) if so. I don't know that is readily available or not if needed,

Ok thank you. I might have found one for an amc hat would work to push the bearing back where it needs to be in relationship to the thicker plate. I am going to order and find out soon enough. It will go into the slot where the torque converter centered up, 1.7” I believe.

I did and it seems to be working well. Apologies for the delay in responding. I do not have a lot of miles on it at this point- been working out the pinion angle/driveshaft/vibration related small things now.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
