Hey guys, I hope I dont get blasted for not working on a camaro but a lot of parts on my build are camaro.

So.. I have a 53 Chevy pickup 3100, Camaro 70 Camaro/Nova front clip, 79 10 bolt 8.5 rear end, 92 Camaro roller block and a Camaro T5.

Information pertaining to my problem... I bolted up a Camaro T5 up to a Lakewood 15020 hydraulic bellhousing using the stock clutch fork and pivot ball. I used a 88 Chevy pickup slave cylinder and a 88 S10 master cylinder. Both the full size and S10 slave and masters have the same size bores, I used the S10 master because it fit my pedal assembly. Bore sizes are as follows Master - .7, Slave .815 = hydraulic advantage of 1.16 vs the 1.3 advantage of the Camaro setup of same year.

Ok, after all installed my pedal is STIFF. Probably 100 pounds of force needed to press clutch down. It does engage and disengage clutch properly but is very stiff. The slave and master are both new, the hydraulic hose is the only thing I got from a junkyard.

Any suggestions? Ive asked on other fourms but not much help has been given.

Heres a video of the motor I built using the Camaro block. Sounds wicked.
