Well i took out my 200-r4 cause i hated it! And i bought a t-5 out of a 92 firebird, got the clutch pedals and a new master and slave cylinder. everything pretty much bolted up. but i had to modify my long tube headers to clear my external slave cylinder! and im afraid its gonna melt! so i got some short tube headers and they pointed right at the slave cylinder. so i had to send them back. and i think block hugger headers might work i found some for a monte carlo. but i dont want to buy them and have them not work. they look like the collector will hit the motor mount. Anyways if you can make sense from all this maybe you can give me some ideas.

heres the header that might work. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/JBA-1815S-1/

Well I have not done this yet but what i thought about to clear my headers was to use a hydrick throwout bearing . we have use them in our old latemodel just a idea.

So what were they? Just curious. Swapping to a 5 speed is on my "to do" list!

here is the link. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-68607/ all the shorty headers i've seen point right at the external slave cylinder. these headers piont straight down exactly where i need. they are black but they will get the job done. make sure you rebuild your t5 or get it rebuild before your install. it will be worth it in the long run so you dont have to take it out again.
