ls swap sm465 with headers now slave cylinder will not fit

[Ole Buck]

Like title says the slave cylinder will no longer bolt up because the headers are blocking it. This is a frame up rebuild and i did not see this coming. Its way too long to bolt in. So, is hydraulic throw out bearing and a new master cylinder my only choice and if so which one.

Thanks, BC

I got nothing because of no LS experience.

Pic please. Would you have room to go with a pull type slave,instead of a push style slave.Wilwood and some others make them. Probably on your own fabbing rear bracket.

Don’t be afraid to “modify” the headers…

In the "Classic Truck Federation Badass Trucks" group (sort of a Gulf Coast group) there's a guy name TC Cameron that's currently working on a square body with an LS / manual trans (2wd) using a hydraulic T/O bearing, he may have some info for you.

Huh,gotcha beat I am absolutely positive I've been 1 step forward 97 and half steps backwards more than once

In this case, I would probably opt for the hydraulic t/o bearing . Another example of why headers suck. Hooker manifolds for the win.

I'd look at pic 4 that I posted. I think something like that would be problem solved.
