I recently got an LT1 from a Camaro z28 which I want to swap into a CJ-7 Jeep…

I have a few questions for the experts:

1. Can I use a 168 tooth flywheel from a 1990 TPI 350ci engine (1-piece rear seal) on the LT1??? is the bolt pattern the same??? I want to use a 11” clutch.

2. Is it possible to use a 168 tooth mini starter from a 1990 Gen 1 SBC with my LT1???

3. I want to install a PSC Full hydraulic steering… It comes with a Saginaw pump… Is there a way to install this pump to a LT1???

BTW, I’m using a Carbureted LT1 Intake Manifold from GM performance with a 670 CFM Holley truck avenger carb and a HEI distributor on the back.

i dont think Lt1's have distributers on the back. or even provisions for one.

I had to convert my lines to work with the LT1 power steering pump on my K5 saginaw box. Major pain in the ass. I think I still have one of the custom lines. I'm running a 6.0L now and not looking back. Use the top mounted distributor, the optispark is junk.
