There is alot involved here so if I miss something Ill be sure to update it in the near future.
This is everything I acquired to make my T5 work in my modified Grand National.
Keep in mind there are many different ways to do this swap and my way may not be the best for your application.

I am running a hydraulic clutch from a Camaro.

Transmission: Acquired from friend and had it rebuilt.

Reservoir: unsure of part number at this time I bought mine at a yard for 2 bucks....Ill work on getting a p/n

There are many ways to doing this swap like I said earlier.......For one if I was to this again I would buy a newer style slave master combo that is preassembled with a stainless hose in the 96 and up camaros.

If you are running mechanical clutch you do not need to run the same bell housing as me and you can also get a different shifter. I had to buy a camaro T5 shifter because it compensates for the angled bell housing.

with a traditional style muncie bell you can run a shifter that is straight up and down such as a mustang t5 shifter. also it should end up alot closer to center if you are running a center console.

if there are any obvious errors please let me know Ill update with some other useful info as I get time.

in the near future Ill discuss the modification of the crossmember and pedal setup.
