You may need to move the clutch res to the other side of the the MC I think the header tube on #5 makes a loop about right there. It was close on my booster, but may not be on yours since you are running manual brakes.

Yea, I can't see the header coming that close to the Master Cylinder.. manual brakes for the win! lol

I just couldn't get myself to punch more holes in the firewall. If I have to I will move it and just make another bracket.

How much room between the back of your heads and your firewall? Could you send me a pic of that and of your sway bar links? I am working out where to mount my coil packs.

Looks good I have the same setup on the way to me minus the brakes and am using a 423 ci ls1/t56.

Did you modify the tranny tunnel for the t-56 ?

Yea, we welded on the pieces supplied by 21st Century. It ends up raising the trans tunnel about 1.75 inches.

I have not gotten you photos yet of the swaybar set-up. The distance of the motor to the firewall is the same distance as stock. If you are going to relocate the coils, it will have to be a tricky bracket on each fender well...knowing you are not going to drill that sweet firewall.

Here is another heads up. You will not be able to get to the bleeder on the throw out.

choices:

1. drill a hole in the side of the tunnel and then use a removable plug.

2. before you put the engine and transmission together remove the bleeder and make one that extends from the throw out with a braided line and use a bleeder valve at the end (russel and aeroquip both have one of these). A & A corvette makes one but it has a bend at the throw out that will not work with an f-body style bell housing. They may make you one with a straight end on it

3. bleed the throw out with the master attached before you put the engine in the car. Solves all of your problems unless you need to bleed it later.

Yes it does.. instead of going at an angle back these go straight back. Mark cut the crossmember down a bit and voila! it fit like a champ.. Nice to know the system is this flexable.. this is a good test of the product since little in the back of my Camaro is factory..

We pulled out all the old stuff today. Cleaned up all the old weld marks (from the old 4-link) and welded in the modified crossmember. Tomorrow we will put in the front support and weld in the cover parts. finish up on Sunday. It's easier than I thought. Of course my opinion could change tomorrow.. lol
