Speedway Clutch Pedal and Slave on a T-5?
Hey y’all,
I’ve decided to swap a T-5 into my ‘90 Z/28. Looks like a pretty easy swap. Nearly everyone installs a factory clutch and brake pedal assembly when doing this swap, but for a similar price I can just put this speedway clutch pedal and slave on it. Has anyone done this? Any reason not to do it? Will I need a bracket to mount the slave cylinder?
Thanks in advance

Speedways kits are more apt to be geared to non-factory type cars/trucks...i/e you want a T5 in your '52 Chevy PU.
As said above, go with what works and has worked for millions of F-Body's, eliminate the hassles.

Re: Speedway Clutch Pedal and Slave on a T-5?
This set up is intended for a circle track type of car. I contemplated something like this once but after build and working on many dirt track cars over the years, you will want the factory stuff. If you are completely gutting the car and adding a roll cage and a number on the side, then I might go with this option.

You are better off with factory parts. Fitting that in a production car is not easy

Sorry for the delay, got in really late last night and didn't get an chance to get out to the shop until today.
Could use a bit of clean up and you'll need the following switches -
Clutch safety switch - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...251537&jsn=871
Brake light switch (may be able to reuse auto trans switch ?) - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...251537&jsn=875
I could do $100 + shipping ?
