Mating LS427 to T56...

[79 Camaro]

Pilot bearing goes into the end of the crank shaft. If you have the correct T56 and bell housing the pilot shaft engagement should be no problem. Not the same as the slave cylinder. To check bell housing alignment you will need a dial indicator with a magnetic base. Loctite on the flywheel bolts to keep them in place and to keep oil from seeping out. The slave cylinder is the throw out bearing.
