Hydraulic pedals are different, but you can run hydro with your setup. You have to cut a small bracket off the pedal, but that's no big deal. The holes are dimpled in the firewall for the MS too. I used all off the shelf parts for an 87. I had converted my rock crawler, which started life as a CUCV to a mechanical linkage and 465 many years ago and last year converted to hydro. It's a pretty easy job. You can swap to a hydro bell housing or simply make your own bracket if you have the ability to weld. I've done both on various rigs.
