Hi folks,
I'm putting a T-56 (and LS-1) in my '66 Mustang, and am sorting out the hydraulics for the clutch now. I have the original master and slave cylinders from the 2001 Firebird the drivetrain came out of, and intend to use them. I don't, however, have the clutch hydraulic line. Most likely, it wouldn't be the right length anyways, so no big deal - I'll just put a flexible line on there!

I've found an adaptor fitting for the slave-end of the line, to convert the funky push-lock fitting to an AN-3 connection, but I don't have anything for the master end. Is anything available to adaptor the strange o-ring fitting to something more common?

Alternatively, does anyone else know of another common solution to this problem on conversions?

Thanks!

Try Kessler as they make several "conversion" packages & components.

McLeod also has several hydraulic MC/slave and may have some components that you can use. I got a few parts to connect their braided line from MC to OEM slave for my Twin Disc clutch

Going LS into a Ford...cool

I suspect you will have some fabrication to connect the dots. Hopefully someone who has traveled this swap will post

You're better off just using a hydraulic Tilton kit. That way you don't have to work around that funky master cylinder mount angle.

$600 for a clutch hydraulics kit?! No friggin' way, not if I can help it! That's absurd. I've got the mounting figured out; all I need is a strange, one-off fitting.

Oh, and yes, there's been an impressive amount of fabrication thus far, and there will be plenty more before I'm done. No worries; I'm really enjoying it!

I went to my local Car Quest (Chicago Heights) with my original 4th gen f-body clutch line and their machine shop was able to cut of the master cylinder end and a replacement with a NPT-1/8" end. It cost me $20. Another $5 got me a 90-degree swivelling 1/8 Male to 1/8 female adapter. The whole thing worked very well with my Wilwood master cylinder.

Not all Car Quests have a hydraulic hose shop, so you'll have to do a bit of research in their "find a location" page online first.

You don't need a full blown kit just an $80 master cylinder and a An to GM quick disconnect hose that can be had on Ebay pretty cheap.

Yes, I found that for the slave cylinder end.

Is it the same fitting for both ends, perhaps?
