Hi fellas, I've got something i wanted to run by some of you:
I'm doing an engine swap on my 1986 Ranger, and the transmission i have for it is a 1999 M5r2 from a 4.2L I know that the clutch master cylinder between the 1999 f150 that the trans came from is vastly different from the master cylinder on my 1986 2.9v6 ranger. This being the case, im working out how to combine the two pieces-the 1986 master cylinder, and the 1999 release bearing. Some months ago i spoke with another member here who did a V8 swap on his ranger using an externally mounted slave cylinder on his SBF bell housing. He spliced the rangers hydraulic line together with the V8 hydraulic line, connecting them with a piece of fuel line and securing it with double hose clamps. He said he put 1000 hard miles on that ranger with that set up and had no issues. My swap is different but my idea is to do the same with two different hydraulic systems between the above mentioned units (see the attached drawing for a visual reference). However, if there is a simpler way to splice them together, like at the nipple on the hydraulic line, then ill do that, but i wanted to verify this idea first just for ease.
