Stuck clutch fork
I dropped in my engine today and the clutch fork will not move .
I am using the same setup that I have run for 2 years except for a Lakewood steel bellhousing it feels like the clutch fork is pinned all the way back.
Is my ball stud to long or to short?

Sounds like an incompatibility between your new bell housing, clutch fork, ball stud or the throwout bearing.
You need to look at your old stuff and see what has changed. I have seen multiple posts on people piecing together an aftermarket bell housing and then sourcing parts for the clutch and pressure plate from different companies.
Seems if you use a new clutch and pressure plate you need to get it in a kit form to ensure the throwout bearing matches the type of pressure plate you picked. As well as any considerations to what the new bell housing brings to the table with the type of ball stud and corvette specific clutch fork.
