Hey I have a 63 chevy II with an ls1 and t56 setup with the checkered racing front clip. My question is what are you using to setup a master cylinder to engage the clutch with the factory pedals or aftermarket pedals... Any ideas, you guys have any pics...

Thanks Mark Tisdale

 

have you check with ( street & performance ) 479-394-5711 or www.hotrodlane.cc

 

I will give them a call tomorrow. Have you had any expericence with them, do you know if you will actually have something that will work.

Thanks

 

I called them and they had nothing that would work with the chevy II and the firewall They only had one for a camaro 1st gen ls1 t56

 

I was going to use the oem f-body m/c but I had this Wilwood m/c and used it instead (66/Checkered/LS1/T56) and made a bracket so m/c would fit perpendicular to firewall:

 

sorry they were no help to you

 

Check with Keisler, they may have something.

Looks good, I just have so much more fab work ahead of me and hope I can find a bracket that can work...

How much did that master cylinder and line run you...

Thanks Mark

 

Ahh no problem... Those guys have some serious engine dress up kits lol

 

Yea I will call tomorrow, I only see stuff for a tremece 5spd but it doesn't matter I am sure, I just need the bracket to mount the master cylinder to the firewall and run the ls1 style braided line... and run a heim joint setup connected to the clutch brake pedal.

Who knows...

Keep some info coming guys!!!

 

The body on my Rambler American is built like a Chevy II. I mounted the clutch master by copying the way it was mounted in my 99 Camaro parts car. I tried to figure the original mounting angle, drilled a hole in the firewall and bolted it in using the original ubolt setup. After removing the cast section of the pushrod, I put a 1/4-20 thread on the remaining pushrod stub. A rod coupling , a piece of rod, and a heim joint connect to the pedal. Use a pedal stop to limit travel to under 1 inch. The street and performance website has info on making a mount on your clutch pedal. Space gets tight around the steering column and pedals. I even had to slightly offset my brake pedal to clear the clutch master setup. Love the early Novas. Had a bunch of 66 and 67 SS's back in the 70's. Good luck.

 

Not sure on the m/c - had it quite awhile - you can find them on Wilwood's site. The braided line - I'll look up my notes for it tonight. -Bob

 

Thanks Bob!

 

PM stangs4sale. He had done a lot of LS swaps in Chevy II's with a manual tranny.

Cool I will pm him.

 

The braided line was $104 from McLeod: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

Edit: Don't know if this will work for you but its priced right:

I appriciate it!

TTT!!!

 

I am on similar swap right now on a '66. I plan on using a Wilwood M/C (already had it) and fabricating a bracket that will mount it at an angle to the firewall in the same location as where the original Z-bar pushrod exited the firewall - just above and to the side of the steering column.

I'm currently waiting on my clutch pedal to arrive before I go about making the bracket.

 

Nice, keep me posted and if you have a chance post some pics!

Thanks Mark

 

I am working on a 63 Chevy II with ls1/T56. I fabricated a master cylinder bracket using the ones they make for early Camaros. It doesn't run yet but it seems that the clutch works fine. I am on a tight budget and this didn't cost that much to do (cost of bracket and stock Camaro clutch master cylinder). You can see pictures at:

Hope this maybe sparks an idea. If you have any questions just ask.
