I do have some concerns though regarding my clutch install. The 11" clutch I got came with a pilot bearing and the video I watched did not install it. I assumed since it was a corvette motor, and the same exact transmission that what I was watching was as close to what I have as possible. Later I went back and saw that the 'vette crank was obviously milled to take the pilot pinon at the end of the tranny.

I am not 100% certain I do not need that bearing. Any input?

I also took some pics of my clutch fork. It has about 2" of free travel before it presses against the clutch plate, and I do not know if that is normal or not...
I will post the pics tomorrow as it is late and I am supposed to be in bed atm.
I am not much help with bearing, although I have read on here that a pilot bushing is preferable to a pilot bearing. I believe markeb01 amongst others would steer you right in this regard. I can tell you that my clutch also has the extra travel, I would be interested to know if it is okay to limit that travel and have the clutch pedal rest neatly alongside the brake pedal.
