new project / 5.3 w/doug nash 5-spd/67 camaro
 

Looking for some advice . I have a 67 Camaro, stock subframe, I would prefer not to cut on the floor pan (maybe unavoidable ). I want to install a 5.3 engine with a doug nash 5-speed. I have two different scattershields. Stock camaro throw out position and 62-67 chevy II position . The difference being the position of the hole for the throwout bearing arm. I think I want to install a hydraulic throwout bearing , Is this doable, Is this the best way to go....???? Eventually I want to step up the horsepower ...550 to 600 , is this the way to go. I own the 5-speed already, a Tremec doesnt fit the budget. The nash has a vasco jet mainshaft already. Is there any thing I'm missing here, any thoughts, any suggestions.

Another thing I havent thought about is input shaft length .....? Difference there I assume ...? Also neither of the scattershields have a mount for a hydraulic slave cylinder .... I would think it could be added , does anyone make a kit to add it or is a fab item only ? What are people using for a master cylinder and mount ? I've seen the Dse bracket . Is that the way to go ? I'm sure I am forgetting some things and I will have more questions ......Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anyone ever used this combo .....?

I've used a chevy doug nash with a tilton trans-mounted hydraulic throwout bearing with SBC and ford motors. The measurement from the transmission face to the clutch fingers will tell you if that would work for you.

Good luck

Anyone else have any more thoughts ... opinions or experience with this combo ????

Still looking for some info ....
