Question Hydraulic clutch conversion...

Posted this in Vintage also, wasn't sure where it should go.
I'm going to be converting my 318/727 Dart to a 400/A-833 soon and I was thinking about going with a hydraulic clutch instead of the linkage. Has anyone done this before? Could I use a setup off say, a Dakota? I know its gonna need some fabbing, but I could use some ideas. TIA

L.C.D.

Thanks Ehostler, I'm looking at wanting to do a setup similar to the one on Bill's page www.bigblockdart.com. Where there is a master cylinder to slave cylinder type of setup. Sounds like I can use a setup off an S10, but I'll have to look into it further. Thanks again.

www.bigblockdart.com has a tech article on how this can be done, and they have other great info. I have a similar project (69 Barracuda 440) that I considered this same thing, but an original setup is available for about the same $$$s so I have abandoned the hydraulic idea and gone back to the z-bar parts collecting.

Yeah, I like live there, Ha ha... I was mainly just wondering if there was a setup that would make a good in-between. I.E. keep the clutch fork setup, but have a slave cylinder to actuate it.
