I have a 1982 S15 with a 1965 283. I'm replacing the 350T with a T5 transmission. I'm not sure what bell housing or hydralic system to use. I have a bell housing that fits both but not sure what its from. So I dont know what hydrolic system or clutch fork to look for. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

you can use the bell housing and hydraulics from a camaro, but you will need the camaro T5 as the tranny is tilted for ground clearance. what are you using for exhaust? if you have headers, you will need a hydraulic throwout bearing, because there isn't room for a slave cylinder.

Around what year camaro does the bell housing have to come from? I have room for the slave cylinder w/ 3" headers. Thanks for the info.

i think you are looking for any 3rd gen camaro. the 88 donor i had used this style. unless you are using fender well exit headers, they aren't going to work with the slave cylinder, but go ahead and try if you'd like.

no you dont have room with headers UNLESS you use a hydraulic throwout bearing

This is good reading. I have a 283 and plan to find a T5 to use in my S10

I literally just went throughthis....headers will not fit with a camaro bell and the camaro hydraulics.If you use a hydraulic throwout bearing (i did and just trimmed the slave mounting bracket off) then you can.just make sure you use a steel braided line,headers get hot as hell!!
