Fox with ls1/t56 and cable clutch, has anyone done it?
Every swap I've seen with a fox and t56/ls1 has been with a hydraulic clutch, has anyone done a cable released clutch? Would there even be room for a mustang t5 style fork and throwout bearing in the LS1 t56's bellhousing, or any way to put a pivot ball on the front plate of the trans? Thanks for any input.

Here is my take on this scenario. Use a LS1 trans, bolt it to a LS engine, use LS hydraulics, and install a hydraulic MC on the vehicle that you are working on. Anything else, and you are just asking for trouble.

Guess I shoulda mentioned.. I plan to use the ls bell and input, I was only curious to if I could use the lt1 plate as it has the shift fork ball. I've been looking at the hydro conversion but that's ~600 I didn't wanna spend.

Surely a hydraulic conversion is not that expensive. The kit for my Cougar was $235, plus the slave and line of course. A while back I saw a kit that was really cool, but I can't seem to remember who makes it.

That's the one I need :/ guess it's looking like I'm gonna have to go that route. O well, I was only gonna try the cable clutch deal if it had been done successfully before.

I wish I could remember the company that made the other MC mount. It didn't stick into the engine bay at all and used a nifty system to mount the MC vertically. Maybe it was Bowler?
