go with a stock GM unit from a post 2001 F-body. Drop the trans and 2 10mm Screws hold it in place. Hardest part is removing the hydro line.

The Ram Hydraulic unit is a very good replacement, however not cheap.

Biggest pain is the adjustment, but has proven to be a great unit for me. I combined it with the tick master and have NO issues shifting at all.

We always suggest sticking with a GM Replacement slave cylinder, we ever designed our Adjustable Master Cylinder to work with it: http://www.tickperformance.com/gm-sl...or-ls1-f-body/
