what car is it going in?
McLeod makes the parts you need to install it in a GM with a mechanical clutch linkage. all you need is a bell housing adaptor and you will be good to go

All you need is a bellhousing from ANY 80's (mid 90's) or older chevy V8 (car not truck) use the clutch linkage from what ever car your working with. The only "adapter" part is the flywheel, and input shaft bearing at the crank, and some are using a stock LS1 flywheel from a Camaro.

If the T10 has a 26 spline input shaft then you can just use any LSx clutch. If the T10 has a 10 spline input then you may have to get a custom disk and use any LSx pressure plate.

I would love to have a 40's-50's Street Rod with a LS1 and a 4spd. That would be cool as all hell! What are you putting this in??

It'll bolt up, but whether it'll hold up is a different question...

Super T-10s have been holding up just fine behind healthy big blocks for years. No problem.

I put a Muncie 4 speed behind my LS1 and it was an educational experience but I have no doubt that it will work just fine.

Yes it is a super T10 with 26 in/32 out. Into an Holden Torana (2800lbs)
So I can use a stock LS1 clutch? sounds good, what do I use for a speed sensor?

After I adapted a 40 tooth reluctor wheel and sensor to my Muncie someone said that you could get a VSS from JTR or anyone and the tuner could reprogram your PCU to work with it. Lots easier than the adapting I did.

I just tried the VSS from JTR. Unforunatly, with EFI Live, you can only go down to 10 PPR and the VSS is a 4 PPR.
