Measure your input shaft from where the transmission mates with the bellhousing. If it's (roughly) 7.0" long, it's a Viper input, 6.5" long, it's from an LS1 T56, and 5.5" long makes it from an LT1 T56. If it's an LT1 style T56, a mechanical linkage is going to be virtually impossible unless you swap input shafts (but talk to Mcleod to confirm this. The key is the ability to run a "push" style clutch). If it's 6.5" - 7" inches long, and you're using a traditional SBC/BBC, McLeod makes the adpaters (LS1 T56) or bellhousings (Viper T56) you need to run the OEM clutch set up in your car. The LS1 input shaft results in the cheapest swap unless you want to run a scattershield, in which case there's little difference in cost between adapting the the LS1 or the Viper T56's to your engine. Assuming you've got a 2.66:1 first gear, you can also swap the input shaft from an LS1 T56 into your transmission if needed.

Its a 69 Camaro SBC. The actual tranny is out of a 1994 LT1 and I have beefed the internals IT HAS UPGRADED BILLET SYNCRO KEYS IN THE 3-4 AND THE 5-6 SYNCRO ASSEMBLEYS, UP GRADED STEEL 3-4 SHIFT FORK. UP GRADED FORK PADS, ALL NEW UP- GRADED CARBON KEVLAR SYNCRONIZER RINGS, NEW 1-2 SYNCRONIZER ASSEMBLEY,NEW 3-4 SYNCRONIZER ASSEMBLEY,NEW 5-6 SYNCRONIZER ASSEMBLEY. NEW 5TH GEARS. The input shaft is a stock LT1 input shaft. So if I understand you correctly that I need a input shaft from a LS1. Once I have this then I can purchase an adapter bellhousing. Then I can run a mechanical clutch setup.
