1963-1967 Chevy II/Nova LS Hydraulic Clutch Kit for T-56 Swaps
Drivers tackling an LS transplant in a 1963-67 Chevy II or Nova need a clutch solution that delivers consistent pedal feel and straightforward installation. The 1963-1967 Chevy II Hydraulic Clutch Kit T-56 swaps out the stock linkage for a hydraulic system with automatic adjustment and frees space for full size headers in the X Body engine bay. Its bolt on hardware mounts directly to the firewall and comes complete with a remote reservoir plus a stainless braided hose with GM style quick disconnect. Every element integrates with the original pedal box for reliable engagement under spirited driving.
Exact Fitment for 1963-1967 Chevy II Nova
The hydraulic clutch kit is engineered to match the factory pedal box and firewall geometry in first-generation Chevy II and Nova models, ensuring a precise, no-modification installation. Firewall mounting brackets align directly with original bolt holes, so the system integrates seamlessly with the X-Body chassis. This tailored design prevents clearance conflicts and maintains the vehicle's original pedal travel and throw-out bearing relationship. By preserving the factory linkages, drivers experience a true classic feel with modern hydraulic convenience.
Hydraulic Actuation Delivering Reliable Pedal Feel
Switching from a mechanical linkage to hydraulic actuation transforms the driver's interface with the clutch, offering a consistent, light pedal effort in every gear change. The self-adjusting master cylinder maintains optimal engagement without manual adjustments, eliminating cable stretching or linkage wear. A remote fluid reservoir paired with a stainless braided hose and GM-style quick disconnect ensures fast bleeding and rebuilds, while resisting expansion under load. Together these components deliver precise modulation for spirited driving or daily commuting.
Optimized Engine Bay Clearance for Full-Size Headers
By relocating the master cylinder assembly close to the firewall, this clutch kit opens up space for large-diameter header tubes that would otherwise collide with stock linkage. The low-profile pedal linkage tucks neatly beneath the brake booster area, creating room for wider header primaries and smoother exhaust routing. This improvement not only simplifies header installation but also can boost exhaust scavenging by allowing straighter tube runs. Enthusiasts gain more freedom in choosing high-flow manifolds or custom systems without compromising clutch performance.
Complete Kit Simplifies Installation Process
Every component required for a full hydraulic conversion is included in the box, from the pedal bracket and pushrod assembly to the master cylinder, firewall mounting plates, remote reservoir, and all hardware. The stainless braided clutch hose arrives pre-assembled with a GM style quick release fitting, reducing fabrication time and potential leak points. Even the dedicated quick-disconnect tool is provided, making future servicing or inspection straightforward. This all-in-one solution eliminates parts hunting and ensures compatibility, letting enthusiasts focus on driving rather than sourcing components.
Engineered for precise fit and lasting performance in LS swap applications.
