Needing some expert advice...

[MadMaxx]

So I'm about to pull the trigger on a LS3 and finish my 69 Camaro that I started 8 years ago... Once I decide which LS3 and where I'm buying it, I am wondering if there is a kit I can buy to install my brand new ( 8 yrs old ) TKO-600 tremec transmission behind the LS3. I'm wondering what bell housing, hydraulic clutch ect is a trouble free kit / route to go. The engine is either gonna be a LS3 GM crate 525hp or a Texas Speed LS3 630 hp. This is going to be a cruiser / once in a great while a few trips down the drag strip (maybe). I was told the factory flywheel will be fine, but looking for some help.

Thanks!

Im far from expert but we used a stock 621 bell housing, truck flywheel (NFW-1050) and standard clutch (RAM-88764) with 26 splines with a TKO600 onto an LS3.

For hydraulics we used an actuator set up from Speedway Motors and our master cylinder plate set up. http://www.shop.meanstreetsperforman...-BCBPKIT69.htm

For race you might want to go with a SFI bell and centerforce clutch.
