Question 85 Ranger Clutch System Retrofit?

Hello All.

I'm an old time FTE guy, though I usually just lurk here on the boards.
I have an 85 Ranger (Coyote) that I use as my shop truck it has a 2.0L/5-spd. I have removed most of the emissions stuff and re-tuned the engine after I replaced the exhaust system with a header and 2.5" pipe.
My problem is with the Hyd. Clutch system. This must be an early 85 because it has the non-bleadable Hyd Clutch. Now why anyone would build a non bleadable Hyd system I have no Idea, but the people involved should be
Is there a retrofit to one of the bleadable systems or some other fix?

Anybody swapped in a T5 behind one of the 2.0L/2.3L engines?

Thanks

Muel

I would like to be able to put in a mechanical clutch linkage. I think the T-5 bellhousing is different. Keep the posts coming.
