New master cylinder? My car is in the process of getting a 370 longblock put in. The speed shop putting the motor in said that my clutch master cylinder was leaking. They are trying to charge 250 for a new stock replacement master cylinder. I have seen mcleod rebuild kits for like $30. Would this rebuild kit be enough to fix a leaking master cylinder? Also, i have seen Ram adjustable master cylinders for around $160. Should i tell the speed shop to put the stock one back in, and either fix my stock one or buy the ram master cylinder? Any help here would be much appreciated.

I think those McLeod rebuild kids are for the McLeod adjustable master cylinders only. Not sure if you can rebuild a stock one. You're probably better off getting an aftermarket one, preferrably the adjustable one and have the speed shop install it for you while the engine is out. Or You can just wait until you get the money and do it yourself later.
