5 speed 67 mustang
 
Hello, I am wanting to install a 5speed in my 67 mustang. I currently is a 289 3 speed auto. I do have full length headers on the car. Now I was wondering if someone could give me a complete run down of parts I will need, so I can make a list and make sure I purchase everything before I start this project. Or if someone could point me to a previous link that lists everything that would be great. Thanks!

What 5 speed?

Sadly there is no cookbook for this. There are multiple variations for which you need to research and draw your personal conclusions.
- Cable clutch, hydraulic clutch or Z Bar?
- Use an early model bell/clutch or a Fox body style bell/clutch?
- are you instant on the long tube headers or can you swap to shorty/mids (influences your decision on clutch method)

These all need consideration based on your individual car, needs, and budget

Talk to http://www.moderndriveline.com/ he can sell you everything with or with out the trans.

There are 3 main transmission swaps you can do as well, a Richmond 5spd, a T5(with upgraded internals if you want) or a TREMEC. All of the require different parts. and then yes, the things James mentioned.

What do you want to use the car for? Start there and pick a transmission based on that.

I did a T5 on my 65 and used Modern Driveline clutch cable and crossmember. I used a late model bell housing and RMP adjustable motor mounts. This worked out very well.

Sorry, I should have explained a little more. I am planning on using a tranny out of a fox body mustang with the bellhousing that is attatched to it. The car has hedman ceramic coated headers on it right now, pretty new exhaust, so I wont be changing that. Can I run a cable clutch with the headers? A friend of mine has a cable clutch for the car that I can get for basically nothing. I just plan on driving the car, can't see myself racing it, and I will be putting the stock style shifter on it cause I want it to look as stock as possible.

If your headers are made to fit the 1967 Mustang, the stock 67 clutch linkage will work just fine.

You could also go hydraulic, most expensive, but easiest to route and the most options for clutch pedal ease. I got my hydraulic kit from them, as well as my crossmember for my TKO 600. I don't like their clutches personally, but they do have complete swap kits at a good price.

They are hedman 88300 headers I think. At least that is what they look like. The biggest think I am worried about is if the cable will work, like, if it will actually hook up to the fork on the clutch. My friend has a lot of the pieces I need, just missing the most important ones that I know of. Like the tranny, flywheel, shifter, driveshaft, ...
