I bought the hydraulic clutch kit from Keisler when I converted my car from an auto to a TKO600. It is a great kit, came with all the parts needed for a Tremec transmission. I don't know what transmission you are using, and I don't know if the kit will work for you if you don't have a Tremec. Actually, the only part that might not work if you don't have A Tremec would be the hydraulic throwout bearing, the rest of the kit would work fine. It comes with a bracket that puts the Wilwood master cylinder in the kit at the proper angle for our cars, and it also comes with a stainless steel braided line with a built in bleeder valve that makes bleeding the line quick and easy! The kit is worth it in my opinion. The only part I didn't use and made my own was the bracket for the fluid reservoir, but I am very picky about things. I suggest you contact Keisler for some info.

I'm working on this right now. A master cylinder from an 86 1/2 ton chevy 2wd has the correct angle all you have to do is cut the rod down a bit. For the slave cylinder I can not help you there I am using a t56. So far my only problem has been trying to find a hydraulic line to marry the two together. Nobody around here seems to make them

The difference between stock and hydraulic is HUGE. I love the feel and effort of the hydraulic kit.
You could piece together your own as many have done (search for it), but I didn't want to go through the pain.
