lt1 t56 in an 86... how to connect the factory clutch master to the t56 slave?

[superwade57]

heres my dilema guys.... swapping in an lt1 t56... i have an 86 swb 2wd auto truck, ive already cut my low hump out and welded in provisions for the high hump, so i can a bolt on a high hump cover, heres where im at, i see the three dimples in the firewall for the factory clutch master, which i have, so i can install the factory clutch pedal set and hook it to the factory master all in the correct way, on the tranny side of things its an lt1 t56 and i have its factory clutch slave which has weird hose connections on it between the slave and master(they are banjo style fittings and seem to semi-permanently attached to eachother). my question is what do i use for a slave since i obviously cant just screw my factory line into the t56 slave will a factory sm465 hyd slave work on my t56 or can i actually mate these two pieces i have together? i searched the forum but came up with nothing and most results were on pre 73 trucks

not sure. pics would help. are they metal lines you can flare like a brakeline and connect the two?

[superwade57]

heres some pics... one of the stock c10 clutch master to slave line to show the type of connection i need, the other three pics are different zooms of the camaro-t56 slave master and line zooms into the slave to show the type of connection i need to get to.

80's ford vehicles have the same type flare as the camaro, with a straight section of metal line made into it. you could then cut and flare the ends, and use a brake line connector to make one line out of the two. or you can order fittings to fit the camaro slave. don't have any part #'s though.

also, could you not just use the truck slave on the trans with a little adapting?

Good info on the Ford line... In regards to the truck slave I'm not sure. I don't have one to check. But I was gonna hit the parts store today with what I have to see what the original truck slave looks like and ill check into the Ford line. Also is there an adapter some where that would go from a.female screw in line to a male pin in line type like the camaro had? Or visa-versa female pin in to male thread in

found this which gives some good jumping off points as far as different venders and a general idea of what will be needed. case closed for now, ill try to remember to update this trhread at a later date with the exact part numbers and procedure i use when i get that far looks like more research and part compililation for now.

How did this work out for you?

I'd like to add that the Camaro master and slave are sold as a pre-bled one piece setup. SO if you where to use the camaro slave by itself you would need to engineer a way to bleed it.

I would try to use the truck slave cylinder, the bracket on the bellhousing should work.

I have all my parts compiled... adapter. Universal clutch hose kit got the slave from an 89 camaro. It has a bleeder screw and it exits at a 90 which is a plus. The factory camaro slave master combo is sold seperate or together. As fat as bleeding ill add pics later but I room 1 gallon weed sprayer added a pressure gauge will fill with fluid and I mated the hose to a clutch reservoir cap will pump and bleed. I made this for an Audi quattro I had it worked great. Also works for one person brake jobs! Once I get time to finish my pedal and steering column install ill finish the clutch master slave install and compile a parts list since I couldn't find one. There's lots of info o. T56 swap in older trucks but Not these. PS ill be using the factory truck master for ease of install.
