ive seen people run a hard line under the motor when used with a hydro tranny but never seen a tucked cable.... did u try chasebays or rywire and ask them for there opinion???? if u r woryed about it for show reasons than just disconect it when ur there but put it back on when u plan on driving it....

I dont think the Clutch cable looks too gnarly. You could route it under the manifold I guess but it is going to be smacking around under there.

Blurry pic but I run the cable. you got me thinking about tucking it also

Just do a hydro to cable conversion, and then get the braided line. That thing can be shoved anywhere you can fit it. It is a lot easier to find a good place to route it as well. If you have the conversion already, I ran mine under the dizzy, and then under the intake manifold. Looks pretty clean to me. Just my .02.
