Hydraulic Clutch Kit for 1963-1967 Chevy II/Nova LS Engine Swap
If you are installing an LS into a 1963 to 1967 Chevy II or Nova, the 1963 to 1967 Chevy II Hydraulic Clutch Kit T 56 addresses the need for a direct hydraulic conversion to replace the original pedal cable. With a master cylinder and remote reservoir mounted by a firewall bracket that matches factory holes, this kit installs without trimming or drilling. It tucks the actuation assembly close to the firewall to clear room for full size headers while keeping original pedal travel under high torque. An internal compensation mechanism inside the master cylinder ensures uniform fluid pressure and consistent clutch engagement over time for confident shifting.
Firewall Bracket Crafted for Direct Bolt-on Fitment
The kit includes a fabricated bracket that bolts directly to the 1963-1967 firewall using the original mounting holes. Installers benefit from no trimming or drilling, saving time and preserving the structural integrity of the body. By maintaining the factory pedal box geometry, this bracket ensures the throw out bearing and linkage arm remain aligned with the pressure plate. This direct bolt-on approach reduces guess work and delivers a consistent pedal feel under the increased torque of an LS installation.
Precision Master Cylinder Delivers Consistent Clutch Control
Replacing a cable linkage with a hydraulic master cylinder transforms clutch operation through a self adjusting internal mechanism. This compensation design keeps fluid pressure uniform over time, preventing gradual changes in pedal feel that often plague mechanical setups. The master cylinder is calibrated to an optimal bore size that balances leverage and release force, giving drivers crisp shifts and predictable engagement. No routine adjustment is needed, so maintenance is reduced and confidence in every gear change is enhanced.
Compact Layout Frees Space for Full Size Header Installation
The actuation assembly mounts close to the firewall, clearing a path for full size header primaries to exit the engine compartment without interference. Straight header runners improve exhaust flow and scavenging, resulting in better performance and reduced back pressure. This compact arrangement also contributes to a tidier engine bay, allowing builders to fit American made manifolds or custom tube headers with minimal clearance issues. The result is improved power delivery and a cleaner presentation under the hood.
Designed to deliver reliable clutch engagement and a seamless fit for your LS swap project.
