I just bought my first 914. I have had several early 911s and know my way around these cars.

The 914 will get an engine swap. It is being built as a GRM $2010 Challenge car. The car will then function as a DE car and potential DD if I can get the AC to work. There will be more details in another thread.

has anyone converted to a hydraulic clutch setup? The swap will not run through a 901 box. Non-Porsche parts going in. Yeah, i will make some purists cry. Don't worry, its a flat four but it is water cooled.

The slave cylinder is mounted to the drivetrain. I suppose I could go with a Tilton/Wilwood dual pedal setup. This should be easy to implement yet there are problems. Usually, the MC setup will not fit in the pedal area of a 911/914. The floor pedal sections are not too much different in terms of roominess.

just looking for suggestions.

Jamie,

If you're not building a track car, then perhaps you can approach a hydraulic clutch as I did (depending on your fabrication skill level). I ran linkage from the stock clutch lever to a bellcrank system with a Wilwood clutch master. My center console will hide the master from view.
