    Does anybody know what later Model GM bell housing has a slave cylinder bracket embossed into the housing itself? If so what make model and years and what size clutch does it accept? Thanks in advance.

    Camaro/Firebird would be my first guess; actually, my only guess. My parts book (E-BAY listings) say 82-94, and they are't cheap.I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

    But I think the camaro one has the trans at an angle. The one I am in search of has the trans straight not tilted

    Early 1960's Chevy pickup housing had two pads for a slave on the p***enger side of the housing.
     
  5. I've never had a problem with a bracket.
    Bleeding the crazy things is another story, but the brackets no issues.

    What clutch fork are you using 31 Vicky, I've fabbed something similar for my 40, but had to shorten my fork, but as i have to remove the engine to remove the fork so i can fully weld and brace it, It would be easier to put a shorter fork in... Im running a 168 flywheel and 11" clutch, Thanks (after and before pics below)

    The 85-7 truck bellhousing is the one I’m looking for if anybody has one laying around, hit me up! I’m swapping out a new turbo 350 for a T5 so I have a fresh rebuilt 350 for sale if anybody is in the market!

    Early to mid 90's 4WD pickups also had a hydraulic slave cylinder on the p***enger side because all of the front driveshaft stuff was on the drivers' side.
