I need help! Bought all the parts, 2006 Viper t-56, quicktime bellhousing (t56 to 440), 130 tooth 10.5 flywheel, built a new tunnel, but for the life of me I can not find what clutch to use or piece together!!!  Where I live the local speed shop will not separate a clutch kit (disc 1 1/8, 26 spline and pressure plate for 10.5 flywheel) What the heck!  Car is 1968 Charger, 383, a/c. All new full floor, trunk pan, full quarters coming soon...
Thanks for any knowledge on this subject!

I will post some pics soon, need friends to help!  The bell is a Quicktime unit and can be used with the factory hydraulics for the viper or the old school mechanical linkage, I have had trouble finding what to use as there are no instructions...

I have read that a 2002 camaro clutch master works with mods, cheaper than a tilton, wilwood etc.  hydraulic line is easy too it's -3an and the fittings are all available thru russel/earls.  I had to cut just past the inner trans crossmember bolts outwards, I used rectangular structural tubing that fit right inside the crossmember, put the trans back up and have roughly 1 inch clearance. I tacked in the tubing and made a rectangular opening for the shifter which also doubles as the top of the crossmember. The trans tunnel was hand bent from plate that is twice as thick as the floor (extra insurance!). I can use the auto column shift carpet or fake out a floor shift manual oe style with the factory viper shifter already offset towards the driver!  Pics will come but I went all out and do not really have before, just after.  If you don't care about factory carpet, look up the Nascar versions of 68-69-70 charger interior pics, they are awesome. They put rectangular structural on the top of the torsion bar crossmember for extra rigidity but will require the carpet to be modified.
