Here's One For The Experts?
Here's One For The Experts? Hi All,
I've been lurking here for a while but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to the issue I'm having.
I'm running an LS1 T56 behind a 472 Cadillac in my 1936 Ford 3 window coupe. I'm running all the stock hydraulics (hydraulic throwout bearing, master and remote resevoir) which is hooked to a modifed 1939 pedal assembly. Clutch assembly is a Vallejo 11". Everything works great until I make a hot pass then it feels like the pedal goes away. I see where a lot of you guys have this kind of problem with your F Bodies but I can't seem to find where anyone has been able to fix it permanently.
FYI, I did have a '31 Ford roadster with a 514 inch Cadillac and an LT1 T56, I used a McLeod hydraulic thowout bearing and Centerforce clutch, that combination was just as finicky.
Any ideas?

Perform the drill mod and insulate the line as already stated (3/8" heater hose works nicely). Get the line as far as possible from the exhaust heat so it won't cook the hydraulic fluid.
