Anybody running a hydraulic clutch?

[cstm68]

I picked up a 6.0L for my 68 and would like to keep my 4 speed, has anyone converted to a hydraulic clutch? I don't think I will be able to keep my factory linkage with the 6.0. Is there a kit out there or any recommendations on how to convert it?

i just posted the same basic question in another section, no replies yet. hotrod hydraulics.com has a complete kit but it's pricey, and their website left me with some questions. one kit is complete and is 579+70.00 for our trucks. their next kit has everything but the throw out bearing and shims and is 379 with no extra charge. i cant figure where the $70.00 comes in. i am going to call them tomorrow. i will let you know what i find out

I'm using an SM465 from a 74, with the original bell housing, stock clutch, Sachs NFW1050 flywheel, LS7 pilot bearing with a Howe Hydraulic throw out bearing, Tilton 7/8 master cylinder attached to the original pedal assy, been working good for years.

I am running a 1997 NV4500 with internal slave cylinder and a OEM clutch MC. I choose to use the used slave cylinder and it started leaking. Three hours later I installed a new internal slave cylinder from NAPA and it started leaking immediately. Today the engine is coming out to put a GM slave cylinder. If you go with the internal slave, make sure to go OEM and not those cheap China S!@t. The motor is a 2000/2001 5.3L with a GTO intake.
