I have a 355 Chevy with a T-5 from a V8 Camaro and 3.73 Gears. Best thing I have done, alot of modifying. I used a Howe Hydraulic Throwout Bearing and then used a Mcleod Hydraulic Clutch Master Cylinder. I then installed the Clutch Master Cylinder on a 1/4 inch plate then installed the plate between the Vacuum Booster and the firewall. I was getting firewall flex and was worried about cracking like older Mustangs..

Anymore details about the crossmember, clutch setup, pedals or any other details to make it all work? I've been kicking around this idea for awhile myself. Big cubes + lots of highway driving would be great with a 5 or 6 speed.

Pedals are custom made and welded. American powertrain makes G Body pedals now but each pedal is the size of a parking brake pedal. So we cut off the pads and welded on larger plates from a G Body malibu and welded them on to make for more surface area. as far as the clutch, it is a Kevlar clutch. The set up is Hydraulic from american powertrain. The bell housing is a quick time set up also from american powertrain and the flywheel is billet steel from McLeod. The entire set up was a LOT of custom fab and testing and measuring and testing and measuring and more testing and measuring! But I couldn't be happier witht the final result. We are actually working with a few vendors to use our findings to make a G Body swap out set up for this application now that we have worked through a lot of the kinks.
Oh yeah, cross member is a G Force, but even that had to be modified a bit when we swapped the AOD for the tremec
