.75 I believe read the last 2 or 3 pages of junglejoes project thread, he and I were talking back n forth about clutch.
I gotta say the more I drive it, I get what he is saying about pedal engagement being low. Im interested to see if using stock master has an effect. Svtcards could you elaborate on your set-up? Truck n all

It's a 1987 ranger 2wd std cab shortbed lowered 3" front 4" rear djm setup.donor car for v8 transplant is a 1995 mustang gt with a t5.7 o clock fork opening.im using Rick's rangers trans crossmember and engine mounting plates with v6 mounts.energy suspension trans mount.8.8 rear from a 1990 ranger. Stock clutch master cylinder 3/4" bore/.75" like mdl recommends.like I told jungleJoe I'm pretty sure ramcharger and fabworks are also using same master I'm using with success if I recall right.

I contacted modern driveline again to verify that the 3/4 .75" bore would be good enough to run the external slave kit I purchased.he said that's perfect to run it without issues.i ll let u know how it goes I guess.
