What engine is in the Chevelle??

Basically, if your car is Automatic right now....here is a link, that should give you an idea of what you are going to need (albeit the link shows a 5 speed tremec, it might point you in the right direction)...

Also to look at bellhousings, look at Quick Time Performance...

Also keep in mind that you will have to cut the top of the trans tunnel. The T56 is too tall to fit otherwise. Most people usually have to raise it about 2 inches.

i would get some 70 chevelle pedals and they will be a straight swap for your auto pedal, and if you stay with mechanical clutch get the z-bar and all the rods
