I have a Lakewood bellhousing that I'm thinking of putting on my engine. It seems that the Lakewood bellhousing requires a special clutch fork and that the unit Lakewood sells is not for Corvettes.

I have used them in other cars.  My experience has been that the only difference is the outer end.  Corvettes use a pin and clevis, and some cars use a socket.  If that is all the difference, you can either find a passenger car rod, or have yours modified.

I'm wid Larry on this un. The linkage arrangement on our cars is a little weird, compared to other cars, with the clevis/pin set-up, instead of a simple rounded rod end.
You should be able to find a push rod from a Camaro, or other GM car that does not use the clevis/pin, and the Lakewood fork will work. Just be sure the throw-out bearing is correct, as there are a couple of different heights for them.

Ok, ask a question and then that geneartes another one.

Larry might be able to answer that with a measurement. Imma gonna say match it with the one you have...

Exactly!  Or buy the clutch disk, pressure plate, and bearing as a set.  The height of the throwout bearing is determined by the installed height of the pressure plate.
