Can the RR be done from under the car?

I have it on the lift and it looks like there is plenty of room to take out the drive shaft, starter, slide the transmission back, disconnect the shifter and boot from the top, remove the bell housing and gain access for the new bits.

The current slave is an internal inline unit, does it need to be rebuilt/replaced ?

Should I convert it to an external slave/fork mechanism?

If I convert which vendor supplies the best unit?

Any and all comments/advice are welcome.

If it's working well for you, I don't see any reason to change to a fork/slave setup. However, I never hear very many positive stories about hydraulic throw out bearings.

How much horsepower are you making with that 392? I'd be happy to make a clutch recommendation for you.
