I've been fallowing the thread on tranny swap, but my question is, is there an easy pedal conversion?
Hydralic or manual?
I have a manual setup that was in a 73 nova, would that work? or would I be better of going with hydralic.
Can I get something from the wrecking yard?
I already have a T-5 trans with all the stuff to go to my 350. The bell housing is set up for hydralic. Just need to get the pedals figured out.

I saved these notes from a thread a long time ago.

Clutch Master Cylinder: 85 Chevy One Ton Truck w/454 or (85-89 Chevy 3/4 to 1 Ton 454)
Slave Cylinder: 85 Chevy One Ton Truck w/454
Lines: 18 inches of steel brake line w/ fittings to mate cylinders

Cool, I can find that stuff at the yard. But what about the pedals?, will the truck pedals work?
I heard rumor that the stuff out of a mid 90's camaro will go right in.
Fact or fiction?

If the car already has manual transmission pedals then they will work fine. If you are missing the clutch pedal you'll need to source some Vette manual transmission pedals.

I have never heard of the F-body pedals before.

It has a Th350 auto in it.

The "cage" that houses the automatic single pedal is the same for the manual's 2 pedals. You just need to source a pedal (Corvette Central etc) a spring, pedal bumper stop, and either trim or replace the single brake pedal. (dont forget the clutch starter/switch)

or buy a complete pedal assembly off the auction site or from a used parts vendor (Just Corvettes etc)

The "hole" for the stock clutch rod to the Z-bar is already in yours, just poke out the precut insulater and drill throughthe fiberglass skin on the firewall (from the inside out)

ALL the parts are available as aftermarket. Or used. It cost me around $1100 to cwap my auto to manual including all the parts, pedals, tranny, new clutch pack etc etc etc.

I wonder what the chances of the cage I have out of a 72 chevy nova bolting right in are? I have the hole assembly.
