Great updates Dale. Thanks for continuing to share the great details and photos. I'm sure you're happy to finally see that Magnum up in there and sitting on that crossmember. Not an easy job whatsoever. I'm going to be starting that exact same job in less than 2 weeks, so I appreciate everything you've shared so far.

My "clutch fingers to block measurement" is estimated to be just slightly less than yours, and my bellhousing depth a half inch more than yours, so I'm thinking I'll need to use that ZR1 slave also which has a lower profile than a standard LS slave. I have 2 'quick' questions for you.

1. When you compressed the slave cylinder and measured from the face of it to the mounting face of the transmission, do you remember what measurement you got?

2. You mentioned the ZR1 slave has some special plumbing notes. Is it necessary to use that hard line that comes with it? I was hoping to just plumb a soft line from my MC directly to it. Any plumbing notes you could share would be great.

I'm jealous of that jack you used. I need to find me one of those!

Thanks again,
Chris
