If you are using Chrome or Firefox there are add-ins/patches to display Photobucket photos. Just do a search. If you normally use some other browser, you might want to load one of those just for those special occasions when you want to see a Photobucket pic in a post.

So where does the wiring harness go through now? Neat installation, looks like that small clutch MC would even clear a stock power brake setup, though it would be hard to fill. An MC with a remote reservoir would work well. Could just use a tube up from the MC like the late model Eagles did.

I used a Wilwood compact master w/ remote reservoir for my hydraulic clutch. Fit with stock booster with minor mods to the bracket. Used the bottom left booster bracket hole for upper hole in master flange. 

Details in this thread. Photos may still show up as I haven't logged into my Photobucket account since they changed their 3rd party hosting policy.

Thanks, I tried that but still can't see pictures in the first post. Can you? Just wondering if it is a photobucket thing?

Brad and everyone.

I deleted the photos from photobucket and closed the account.
I planned on posting the pictures backup,  but have not found them yet.
they are on one of my old hard drives.
you are not the only one that has asked about them.

I assume you never did find the pictures? I'd find them very useful as I'll be doing this in a week or 2 I'd guess?

I'm doing an LS T56 in a '69 Javelin right now. I'm using an SFI bellhousing and parts from American Powertrain. For starters, you absolutely have to do a mid-shift conversion on the trans. The stock location will not work. Doing a mid-shift conversion literally puts the shifter back to the original location as if it belonged there. It also looks like I need to remove the reverse lockout as the solenoid hits the trans tunnel. I could pound out the tunnel and put a big lump in it, but I'm just going to use a reverse lockout delete kit that replaces the unit with a much smaller assembly that has a tension spring and steel ball to provide tension to help prevent going into reverse. Once that kit comes in, I can push the T56 up into the tunnel where it needs to be. From there I can begin working the cross member.
