hi my friend wants to sell me his 1989 5.0 lx for really cheap and it is an auto. i wanted to know how much it would cost me just for the parts i need for a manual swap.

depends on if you get them used or all new, of course the clutch pedals will be used and you'll need the clutch cable, t-5 tranny, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch and clutch fork, shifter and t-5 crossmember and there may be something I'm leaving out, check out ebay for a package deal

will it be more than 1K if im buying them used?? right now i have a choice between two fox bodies one is running but auto and the other is a manual with a thrown rod

I got all my stuff used, even the clutch and it all cost me, at the time 150.00 for the tranny, crossmember new = 60.00 , cable, 35.00, clutch pedals, 25.00, clutch 15.00, flywheel 10.00...so I got all my set up for under 350.00, so you should be able to purchase it all for under 500.00 if you shop smart

you dont need a new cross member. all you need to do is grind the welds and slide it on the tubes. very easy. I have a spare pedal support. pm me if intrested. You can do this swap for anywhere from free to 2k. just depends if you can find parts. the last one i did cost my 500.

i did mine for $300 including tranny, clutch, crossmember, new shift cable, and pedals

2nd gear is blown though
