Default Header issue for 582

2 1/4 is recommended, but i could go to 2 1/8. my problem is clutch linkage, my solution is mcleod hyraulic to eliminate linkage. Has anybody used this in conjunction with hydroboost? Hooker makes 2 1/8, and has anybody used them with 355 dart pro 1 heads with clutch linkage?

I re-fabbed my 2 1/8 Hookers to work with the talldeck 598 and raised port Dart 355 CNC'd heads. I do not have hydroboost or power steering for that matter. My car steers easily.
I do have the McLeod Hydraulic Clutch and it works very well. I used a heim joint setup on the clutch pedal/rod to adjust it.
