Default quick question...

aside from welding on aluminum threaded bungs and mounting a custom slave cylinder, is there anyway to convert a 5.0 with a T-5 to hydraulic clutch actuation instead of cable?

I personally had never heard this question before so I punched it in google real quick... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search ... from the few links and descriptions I read it seems like they sell kits for hydraulic conversion, good luck.

i know (grannys) www.grannysspeedshop.com sells one, what it consists of i dont know though, but it is for converting a rx7 hydro, so........

i'm sure it can be done,

but why on earth would you want one, calbe clutches are so much better for racing......

I know of a few options that some of the FFR guys do.

Turbocoupes used a hyrdaulic clutch setup. The whole thing can bolt into a fox body since the thunderbirds were fox based. Turbocoupe parts are hard to come buy though.

Mike Forte of Forte Parts ( http://www.FortesParts.com ) carries 2 different external slave assemblies and the mcleod hydraulic throwout bearing.

I never said there wasn't any fabrication involved...
