Anyone converted to a hydraulic clutch before? Any pointers for mounting the master cylinder? | | |

Why would you have to change the clutch to hydraulic? | | |

If it is from a 4 cylinder it won't match your 1963 motor. It needs to be from a 4.3 V6 or V8 to bolt to your engine. If your bellhousing was detachable the transmission would bolt to your original bellhousing. | | |
