Ford choked the crap out of all the 80-90's motors. Add an intake, exhaust and if you're ambitious a better flowing exhaust port and they liven up tremendously.

i bet even just loosing the stock air box to a K&N style, and opening up the exhaust like i did is good for a good amount of power.

boo.

took a pair of side cutters to the clutch MC line.  was expecting thin wall to fit on a compression AN fitting i had.  found super thick wall.  stumped on how to get this thing mated to Willwood MC but i guess im committed now.  Bah.

Would something like this work on the slave cylinder?

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/LS1-and-LT1-T56-Release-Bearing-to-AN3-Line-Fitting,25017.html?sku=5151396&utm_medium=CSEGoogle&utm_source=CSE&utm_campaign=CSEGOOGLE&catargetid=530009170000094869&cadevice=c&gclid=COKFybzq58cCFdKPHwodT_4DQQ

I know the rod master cylinder on my F350 had the same type of end but not sure on the slave end of things.

I think I may have the fitting still.  I ended up piecing the dodge line to the ford mc.

yes, that is the type that i would have needed before i cut the line.  would have been best to do it that way, because a second fitting was provided that matches up to that on the willwood MC

She looked good on the jumps.
But front end didn't appear happy about the big tires mid air!
Imagine a bad shopping cart wheel. :o
