New SFI approved LT1 Blastcan (Bellhousing)
Have any of you guys seen this?
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...rm=698-rm-6023
I was just flipping thru my latest Jegs and saw it.
Cool!
Hmmm.. Just reading the part description... It seems to imply, "Yes fits the LT1... if you use an LS1 style T56..." I suppose that would mean the LS1 style hydraulic throwout bearing. I guess it's still a plus since you can get away from the Valeo 'pull' style pressure plates.

The only one I knew of was the Mcleod but it also requires a conversion; http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/inc/sdetail/16407. At least there is a choice now. BTW, is the push style better than a pull or is it just that most of the clutches are push so more choices/availability?

The Pull/"Valeo" style is(or at least was) a proprietary design and I suppose that suppressed development of enhanced version due to patent concerns. The LSx iterations are of a traditional design with no such proprietary issues so the designs can be varied, powerful and, by benefit of mass production/competition, less expensive.
