    Hi there I think I have got the dimensions for my adapter just about figured out! I have the pattern for the r154. All I need now is the Chevy pattern which is actually harder to find than I suspected! The other thing I would need is if some one with a Novak gmax15 adapter could measure the...

I understand what you mean hard to say unless you try it. did you end up getting your new setup in your car? which starter did you use with your ls?

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    ok alright. If you guys cant send me the pattern could you get me an exact measurement of the thickness of the adapter than maybe we could just cut out the sbc pattern then trace the r154 pattern onto it by lining up the center bearing retainer hole. Also would we just use a front bearing...
