cable clutch setup

[blackwidow]

what do you guys think of a cable clutch set up like the mustangs have. i have looked at some posts over on ls1.com and looks like alot of the guys don`t like the hydraulic set up, i have an ls1 with a tremec tko600 going into a 69 camaro,with my headers, the z-bar set up is not going to work without a ton of fab work. i think i can get this to work without much problem. mike

What kind of bellhousing are you going to use? Have you made an adapter of some sort for the TKO mating to the LS1? What brand of headers will you be using? I am doing the same swap, and am unsure of how I will mate the tranny to the motor and keep it looking clean and well done...
Thanks

james i have a lakewood bell, i had to take some of the 10mm bolts out of the back of the ls1,( the bolt heads were to big and hit the bell flange) put in some allen head bolts and have to weld 2 holes and redrill for the bolts that go into the oil pan, it bolts right up no adapter. you will need the long pilot bushing, i have the s&p motor plates,stainless works headers. mike
