Default My 1951 Desoto Build
So I’m stuffing a Gen IV truck 5.3 into a 1951 Desoto wagon, mating it to a T56 from a CTS-V.

Just installed a PSI harness, welded up motor mounts, did the Tanks Inc in tank fuel pump as well.

I am using a Gen V Camaro all-in-one clutch master.

I am having issues figuring out what will work with my configuration for cold air intakes, and what the plumbing looks like for the Camaro clutch master. The last time I changed out a clutch, it was on a 1970 Beetle, so this is new tech to me!

I was a jet engine mechanic in the Navy and have mainly built small block Chevy stuff.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott
