How hard is the Hydraulic Clutch conversion amyway? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all. Since this 292 - 454 conversion looks like it's going to include a new flywheel/clutch and possibly bellhousing? I'm curious how much extra work and expense would it be for me to just go ahead and get a Hydraulic setup in there.

Many thanks

Greg

A lot depends on the trans you are going to use. The simple way would be to get a borg-warner hydraulic throw out bearing. It just replaces the original throwout bearing and has hoses that run out to operate and bleed it. No special bellhouseing required. Then all you would have to do is find a donor vehicle for the master cylinder. Shouldn't be too hard. Good luck
