Richmond 6 spd questions
I have a Richmond 6 spd mated to my L98, in an '85.
My 3rd synchro is going out, and the clutch is on the way out too.
So I have 3 questions. Would this use a specialty clutch, or a regular '85 clutch?
I've heard it's modeled after a T10, is this correct?
Also, how hard would it be to mate it to an LS1? Lots of fab work?

Use a regular 85 clutch, it is designed as a direct fit replacement for the 4+3. (I have a Centerforce dual friction if you plan to stay with L98 to sell for cheap)
It is mated to an LS by simply using a "621" bellhousing. My 85 with ROD 6spd LS swap thread:

You would use a hydraulic throw out bearing and stock C5 corvette clutch.
