LS7 into a ZF Trans C4
So you can put a LS in a Mazda or a Subaru or a Nissan but it seems you can not swap one into a C4 with a ZF trans.
I have found a bell housing ( Quick times 6039 ) but can not find a hydraulic release bearing that is still in production unless one of you has a Mcloud 1345 sitting on a shelf you would be willing to sell Mcloud has a push style clutch that will work from the new Camaro ( you just can not tell them what you are using bit on or f---s them rite up )
Some of you must have been thru this before any advise is appercated
Thanks
Dan

1. it's "beefier"
2. it shifts better
3. it fits the car (C-beam)
4. he already owns it.

OP, have you called and talked to Tilton?
Their 6000 Series for the LS/LT w/ TKO 500/600 might be a direct fit if the bearing retainer of the ZF6 and the TKO are the same diameter. If they are aren't the same, the Universal 6000 Series threaded retainer collar can be machined to fit the ZF6 retainer diameter.
Also, I know Tilton makes a throwout bearing for the BMW ZF6 and they might have one with a flat faced bearing (for bent finger clutches) that might bolt right up.

If you check out their technical info on this page ^^^ you can see the measurements.
I don't remember the names of the two guys I talked to over there but they really knew their stuff and helped me out when I picked their 6000 LS TKO throwout bearing setup for my swapped car. It is a "beefy" setup for sure and it can also be rebuilt.
Good luck.
