Re: t-5 bellhousing

yep. when i first got headers for my 84 they sent me long tubes for it, and they contacted the slave cylinder mount (im assuming you have the same problem?) unfortunately the fix is to get the proper headers (shortys with a Y pipe) or ding the hell outa your long tubes.
or (havent tried this yet) get a hydraulic throwout bearing from an aftermarket clutch company and shave off the slave cylinder mount. then you just have to run a line for the throw out bearing and shield it from the headers (most of the lines with the hydraulic setups are braided steel, but safety first, so get some heat sleaving for the line.

thats my thought! neway, if you have some pics set them up here and ill try to help as good as i can.
