hello everyone, I have a 1968 289 automatic mustang which I want to convert to stick shift. I have a donor car which is a 1968, 200 6cyl stick shift everything is there and in petty good shape. my question is, will the gear box from the six cylinder bolt up to the 289 motor ?
before I start this conversion just want to know what I should be prepared for? any information would be appreciated thank you for help

 

no you need a v8 tranny.

 

At least a V8 bellhousing!

 

+1 - Except, the 6cyl.s were often 3 speeds, what do you have, and waht do you want? Most want the 4 sp. for the 289.

 

well the donor gear box is 3 spd but that doesnt matter i can up grade later as long as it makes my car a stick shift cause i dont like automatic cars. this gives me time to save up for a t5. i just want to drive my car

 

And the inline6 one is geared differently get you a toploader or t5.

 

ok so i could use erything else like the pedals crossmenber but use a t5 from a 89 5.0 or forget this donor car and get a swap from a vender which is like 5 grand

 

Crossmember won't work need to buy one or make one and some little things.
