well, keep your eyes open. they are pretty easy to find. keep looking for turbo coupes, some have a hydraulic clutch but it can be made to work for a mustang. also mustangs, obviously, and murker xr4ti's. you can find them really cheap if its rusted out or the interior is crap. just keep your eyes open and check out craigs list. here in grand rapids, MI you can usually find a few of them for $1000 or less. I've seen them for as little as $250!

grab the pedals, clutch cable, flywheel+ bolts because they are longer than flex plate bolts, starter index plate and the crossmember and the starter(idk if its like a v8 car and will work on a t5)

65 , you mentioned starter.I checked and the 89 takes a different starter that my 93.On mine the seloiniod is mounted on the starter.Does any one know if the bolt pattern is the same? Or do I have to change the starter and the wiring too ?
