It's going to be hydraulic - just with an external slave cylinder actuating the clutch fork. We looked at going with a full internal system, but it would require custom mounting the master cylinder & fab'ing a linkage system from the pedal. This would work, but the shop has had issues in the past with that kind of set-up causing the master cylinder to leak if the alignment is factory spot-on. If we do it this way we retain all factory parts for a much cleaner install & still get all the benefits of a hydraulic clutch.
Besides, it'll be easier to move that motor with those headers attached & they'd work great with an automatic truck I'm sure.
