    Did anyone that has done this conversion run into alignment issues with push rod and pivot arm?
    I know the 71 is a special case and the bracket is different from other V6 conversion. It looks like the arm needs to be about an inch longer.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    I used the Novak slave and bracket. My bell is not the special one and i am using an SM420, but the bracket that gave me interfered with the bell housing in a way where I had to machine it to fit. It also is very close to my rear dump manifold and gets quite hot. To do again I would go with a custom bracket an a willwood type pull style slave.

    I plan on doing a conversion similar to what Pielut did.
    Pielut's Hydraulic Clutch Conversion

    Looking at my Jeep with a T-14 and a clutch cable, it looks like the slave cylinder would work in the clutch cable bracket. Will find out when I do it.
