Well modifying the bellhousing is the easy part. All you have to do is hack off the slave cylinder ear, and change the clutch fork to a mechanicle type which has more leverage and a longer throw.

The hard part is the linkage as you pedal assembly is built for a slave cylinder. You would have to adapt the pedal assembly out of an older truck in order to operate the linkage.

I personally think this would be a step back as you will have a longer pedal travel and increased pedal effort. I have a mechanicle clutch in my truck, but i wish I had a hydraulic.
