Cable clutch to hydraulic clutch

I'm thinking about upgrading my gearbox but the box i want to use appears to have a hydraulic clutch setup.

Is it much of a mission in a EF8 CRX to convert the Cable clutch setup to hydraulic?

thanks

i have just done this conversion in my ef8 , i made a custom pedal box to run an mc and re-used the ef8 gearbox mount. If you have access to a welder and a bit of know how its really not the difficult , i will get some pics in the next week or so but unfortunatly i dont have pics of the pedal box out of the car so might be difficult to see what ive done.

yip will do mate i chose to do it this way becasue it cost me all of $50 to do not including the gearbox oppossed to $500 using manufactured stuff , and also because after searching all the american threads i only really found bad feedback about the hasport and innovate actuator products. Everyone said that the pedal felt realy wrong some even experienced pedal binding and msot of them stretched the crap out of thier clutch cables.
