Jon, give me your e-mail address, I have pics. Don, the only way to do it is with a blowproof bellhousing, Lakewood# 15335. I ran the Dodge transmission because the input shaft is the correct length. To simplify things a little I changed my front bearing retainer to the 96-up GM style and ran the matching concentric slave cylinder. I had to do some minor clearancing on the bellhousing to get the slave cylinder to sit flat but it was nothing difficult. The slave cylinder has a quick connect fitting that has to be removed. Then drill and tap the hole for 1/4" NPT and install a 4 1/2" brass nipple in its place. Then it's just a simple matter of running a line up from there. On mine, I am getting the NPT to -AN adapter fitting and using a stainless -AN line up to the pedal, and an adapter fitting at the pedal of course. It worked out nice and with the concentric slave, it clears up a lot of space that can be better used for other things.
