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?

One of the difficulties he ran across in bleeding the system might come from mounting the mastercylinder on its side. The air bubbles will stay at the top and not get to the fittings and flow out to the bleeder on the slave.Although the truck slave mounted to the block there are 2 bosses on the block fairly close to the same location. A simple bracket could be made to mount a truck slave if you want it to push.
A truck bellhousing is about 3/4" deeper than a car and that will cause problems with the input shaft length unless you use a 94 or later T-5
