Default T56 Magnum install

I started working on the transmission swap from the Muncie 4-speed to the T56 Magnum this past weekend. I have had a lot of issues with the Muncie lately and can't wait to get the new trans in (oil leaks & syncro problems)

I bought a kit from Hurst Driveline Conversions that included a T56 Magnum close ratio trans, cross member, speedo cable, and some wiring. When I bought the ZR1 clutch kit it came with the clutch, aluminum flywheel, and a GM hydraulic slave cylinder.

TUET11009 Tremec trans




GM slave cylinder




Quick Time steel bell housing, Hurst cross member




I'm planning to use a GM clutch master cylinder and a mounting bracket on the firewall. Not sure which GM clutch master to use?

Also, I'm wondering what to do about the reverse lock out mechanism that is connected to the Muncie trans. The lockout is set up so that when you put the car in reverse and turn the key off, the steering wheel locks. Not sure how to handle this.

Any help with these questions would be appreciated, Thanks
