I am sure someone cares... Looking at peicing a t-56 swap together myself. Can you take a pic of the master cylinder going through the firewall from inside the truck?

Good luck on the swap.

I think you will enjoy that clutch, and its 967 lb/ft torque rating. Its their most expensive single disk.

Their most expensive super twin disk is $1900 with a 1795 lb/ft capacity the least expensive super twin is $1399 with its 900 lb ft rating.
Their mini twin goes for $1649 with a800 lb/ft rating and their triple disc mini costs $1799 with a1200 lb/ft rating.

Let us know how the clutch works, cool swap for sure.

peace

I'm watching since I'm thinking on swapping my 5.3 into my Monte Carlo with a T56...
