Need throw-out bearing advice!

[Ron]

I'm putting the original getrag 5-speed behind a '05 4.8L into my '93 Silverado. My bellhousing has the fork and slave cylinder type throw-out bearing. I'm using a 4.8L flywheel and stock '93 clutch. Just wondering what the best way to operate the throw-out bearing as there is no plate to mount the slave cylinder. Is it possible to convert to the newer style throw-out bearing? Thanks

I just looked the situation over again and it looks like it should work if I fabricate a small dust cover around the slave cylinder where it mounts to the bellhousing. Using the stock '93 throw-out bearing, will I have the proper amount of throw for the clutch? Thanks again.
