Default LS9 Clutch Conversion kit for LS1's?

I only did a cursory search on this topic, didnt find anything. So, has anyone put together an LS9 clutch kit for use on LS1/LS2/LS6 C5's? I've been running the LS7 ZO6 clutch last two clutchs, is ok, but would like to try the LS9 if someone has overcome the 7-bolt flywheel issue (LS9 uses 9 bolt). I look forward to responses. Thanks

Do you mean 6-bolt? Typo?

There are a few. I think Katech is the most popular but not sure. Here is a little info to get you started while waiting for others to chime in:

The flywheel has been done. I think the issues with the C5 is the clearance on the bellhousing-it's too small. I have not tried, Just what I have heard.
