Thinking ahead to the next big project. I have gathered up most of the Tbird parts for a T-5 conversion; bell housing, clutch linkage, brake and clutch pedal assembly, etc. Plan on using Mummerts conversion kit. Has anyone used a hydraulic clutch recently and if so how difficult is it to do? Also are there any clearance issues with Sanderson headers and the stock clutch linkage?

I like this set up. With some detailing it could look good.

My friend Paul said that the clutch fork on his set-up is the stock length. It was not cut shoter. Probably just a different shape than the Y Block clutch forks.

Thanks Rono, I thought about that and remembered you said it was not a y-block.

Hey all, kinda funny I ran across this. This picture is mine, how I mounted mine in my 56. I dont have a y-block, but I was out here searching for power steering using the granada stuff and ran across this thread. I am running a 347 stroker in mine (302 block) and a tko 600 trans, basically the same as a tremec 3550 but beefier. I dont know if its of interest to you since we are using different engines and trans, but if so I can tell yall what I did.

Thanks for the post. I for one would like to know all about it. What M/C and slave cylinder did you use?
