not to bad if you've ever done a clutch swap before.... only real "hard" part you'll run into is the damn clutch pedal... word to the wise, pull the front seat out so you have more room. as for cost... did mine for free (joys of wrecking your first mustang) but it shouldn't cost you more than a few hundred bucks

No way more than a few hundred bucks. It depends on how you do it. If you do it the cheap way and buy old ****ty used parts youll spend around 700-800. If you do it right and buy some good quality new parts about double that. I spent around 1300-1400 and i bought almost all new parts and a fresh rebuilt tranny.

do it right the first time.. why do a conversion with crappy parts???....anyway cost is relavant to what you can find and expect to spend a full day doing it if you don't have the know how..and clutch pedals will be the biggest pain!!
