ok ls1 swap again

[ILLEGAL REGAL]

Hmmm I'll have to remember that later on.. but I guess it depends on where you place the motor on the crossmember. I think I'll go with a stock manifold to get it goin.



Tell me about the pedal and hydraulic setup. And nobody makes a cable clutch setup for the 6gear??

you will want to keep it hydraulic faster pedal responce and you can use the stock malibu pedal set up and stock clutch master for the ls1 car from what i understand

A cable would be nice so you have adjustment, or does the hydraulic self adjust?

i dont know a bunch so dont quote.

the last clutch we did at the shop had a self adj pressure plate

another would be a floating slave cyl through out bearing combo

i dont know if there used in conjunction

best for performance minded it reg clutch with an aftermarket floating slave bearing combo. they use them on the roundy round stuff and its pretty cool how they work

pedal/hydraulics are cake for a 6speed, get a pedal from John Bzdel and mount the master on the firewall using 388bu's template.

I never seen the price on the pedal, but I seen he was selling the modified pans($259).. do ya know if he still is?

if you want the ability to adjust it you can get an adjustable master for an f-body. i had a stock master in my car with the 6speed and it worked perfect.

After looking more at that site I think an auto is easier and would better suit my goal.

Any idea what shifter to use with the o/d or can the column shift be adapted somehow and just not have 1st gear capability?

monte carlos had 4speed automatics....

6speed is way more fun though. best thing i ever did to my car!
