I see your from Glen Burnie, are people still going to Ritchy HWY on the weekends? Used to run all the time up there, been a few years.

I just got my viper t56 bolted up today. Mine was a t56 out of a dodge viper. i work at a machine shop so i turned down the input shaft and make sure you take out the 5 spd pilot bearing and get one for a 02 camaro. When i got it put i noticed that the tranny sits to high when its on the factory 5 spd cross brace so i'm going to take a inch off of it so it will clear the cab and my driveshaft won't rub. you know you have to get a new clutch and everything right. if ya need to know anything let me know. oh instead of trying to repipe the slave cylinder i just i took a slave cylinder from a camaro and drove the roll pin out holding the fitting in and took my truck slave cylinder and drove the roll pin out of it and swapped them out that way. And i had to make a spacer for behind the slave cylinder because i used the viper from cover and used a ls t56 belling housing.

That's the best way to do it. Remove the quick connect fitting from the f-body slave cyl and use the roll pin to connect the truck stock 5 speed hose directly.
