LT1/T56 cluch master/slave setup...?

Hey everyone. I have a 1989 RS Camaro that had 2.8L V6/T5. I am swapping a 95' LT1 & 97 or 98 T56 6 speed manual trans into my car. I am finishing up the list of small parts to complete the swap. I already bought a new clutch slave cylinder. I am just wondering is it possible to use my stock T5 5 speed clutch master cylinder assembly and make it work w/ the LT1 slave cyl setup...? I'm not sure if the LT1 clutch master cylinder is a larger fluid volume or what. Places are telling me the clutch master/slave cylinder setup for LT1's is a complete assembly...but I already have the slave. Just curious what I can or have to do to make my clutch setup work. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I had both sitting in front of me and the #1 problem is the hydraulic line on the T5 setup is too short for a T56, but there are other differences too. Just get the T56 setup, it's cheap enough.

Re: LT1/T56 cluch master/slave setup...?

The 98 setup is for an LS and won't work with the LT1. You can get a complete hydraulic assembly from GM for pretty cheap that will work with the LT1. I know you said you already have the slave but you will risk the chance of damaging something by trying to swap parts.
