thanks again tommy and everyone else for all the input!!!
now just to find out if the McLeod master will connect and work with the factory f body LT1 slave or if i need an aftermarket slave as well this swap is gonna add up quick! :-({|=

lol here is lil more of an update to the pedal assembly and booster wire brush, sand paper, degreaser and some spray paint made it look really nice

there was a loose washer and thick foam washer that look to have fallen out of the booster i just put them back inside the booster tube is this normal or do i need a new booster?

Looks good man. The mcleod master will work just fine with the stock slave. Just make sure you double check the throw and adjust your pedal stop accordingly. The bigger mcleod master will be able to extend that slave cylinder a bit further now.

craig will this in turn also create a lighter pedal pressure vs the stock T56 clutch master? i plan on running a centerforce clutch but not the dual disc set up. im trying to keep pedal pressure at a minimum, have you seen the post about 79hurstolds wanting to swap out his john b pedal??? do you have similar pedal feel as how he explains???

I think if anything this will make the pedal slightly stiffer, but im not 100% sure on that.

Yes, my pedal feel sorta blows to be honest. I chalked it up to my unusually short fork, but maybe its a combo of that and the pedal geometry. If it bugs me enough, I may do what Matt (Ratmalibu) did since im running hydroboost as well and can pull that off.
