5.9L Magnum build with questions

Awesome, thank you! Yeah, I’m hoping I don’t have to cut mine either. It’s the original transmission to the car and I’m trying not to do anything irreversible in the future if by chance it ever gets restored. I’m also thinking about the American Powertrain hydraulic throw out bearing kit. Any thoughts?

Honestly I’d stick with your stock linkage, if it’s all there since you’re using the stock Bellhousing. I have been reading into it recently, and I’ve seen varying reports of needing to modify the LH inner fender to clear the master cylinder. Despite this I plan on installing one of those kits or similar on my car when I go to a scatter proof Bellhousing.
