John(my84z) did some research for me. i was going to switch out the old tired 4.3 in the s10 i just picked up and wanted to cut cost and run stock trans. Sachs sells a conversion flywheel for the LSx. bolts onto the motor and accepts old 11" and 10.5" Classic SBC/BBC clutchs that fit a multitude of trannys. the t5 nv3500 and nv4500 from the trucks. as well as the muncie 4 speeds Wich is what sachs made the flywheel for originally. and if its Auto in the nova? then TCI makes the same But for auto. th400 350 and 200r4 all can be used. behind LSx.
and what i meant by front cover. im not 100% sure if its still available. BUT Gm made a front cover to accept a distributor in the front. like the buicks basically. if not that then MSD makes a conversion box to use the stock LSx 24x/58x crank and 1x camshaft signals to run the coil packs. and just stick a carb on top for fueling.
