the chev bellhousing are the same pattern. I think the ls1/ls2 has a extra bolt hole at the top but everything else is the same. I've got a t4oo behind a 6.2 diesel & a mate has 1 fitted to a ls2.

Pattern is the same but if running a t400/350/700 behind a LS u need a spacer for the flex plate or converter. cant remember which one
