Or it might be just fine as is. Does anybody know of the dimensional differences (if any) between the LS1 and the LS9 slaves? I think that's what we need to know.
John, I found out some info on the dimensions for the for the LS1 and LS9 slaves. I contacted Katech and they said the ZR1 LS9 slave is 2-3/8” when compressed. I went to an auto parts store and measured an LS1 slave for a 2002 camaro (AC Delco #386433, Summit #24264182) and it was about 2-1/2” when compressed.

It looks like either the LS1 or LS9 slave would work. The plumbing is slightly different on the two slaves, and the ZR1 slave has a rubber boot covering the spring and the LS1 slave did not… I’m not sure what other differences there might be.
