I'm looking at doing a swap to a manual trans.
Looking in the engine bay has me kind of wondering how the heck I'm going to install the clutch master cylinder
with the engine installed. It looks like a real tight fit.
If you have a 460 and a hydraulic clutch; could take a pic of that area for me I'd be appreciative.
If you have the reinforcement plate installed that would even better.
It just looks to me like it would hit a valve cover but I'm sure a picture would help me a lot better.

oh and if anyone has a zf5 4wd cross member laying around for sale let me know.
Could also use the tunnel plate if you have one of them too.

 

There's plenty of room:

 

Thank you, I was visualizing it in a different spot from looking at what I thought was the holes for it.
I'm going to take a pic of my bay because that just looks different. I don't see a spot from the factory like I assumed there would be.

 

here is a pic of my engine bay, it doesn't appear a clutch master will fit that close to the booster?
If you look above the valve cover, that is the grommet/ hole I assumed was the mounting location.
Maybe I just need to drill a hole for it there. I assumed there would be more than a flat spot there.

Ok All I see is a small hole next to the raised lip not seen in the picture due to the hoses being in the way.
It seems pretty close to that lip but I suppose the rod goes thru it. And the cylinder will sit flat.

 

I have a 77 f250 with a 460. I converted it with a zf 5 speed 2wd. Kept the divorced tcase. When im home next ill take a pic on the firewall to show you. What year is your truck?

 

The truck I'm doing this to is an 86.
Thanks I appreciate it,

 

Since my firewall doesn't have the holes (or any indents I can see where it should be at) for the clutch master cylinder, How would one go about making the holes?
I'm thinking when I get the reinforcement plate I can scribe the hole and than cut it out someway.
Would switching to a hydroboost brake give more room in this area?
I'm assuming but haven't looked at it closely that I will need to remove the booster anyway for the reinforcement plate.
