Default Parts needed for T5 conversion.

Hello, I have a 71 Stang, has a 69 351w engine that i'm wanting to put a 91 T5 on. I have 69 bell housing still that i'm gonna use on the T5 once I get the conversion kit. But I am wondering if I can use the original 69 trans cross member, what kinda clutch will I need, can I use any type for a 69? i dont know Clutches to well. As far as what I have studied the 91 trans I have is a cable clutch, with me using my old bell housing I should be able to use my old clutch fork shouldn't I?

A lot of the info you're requesting is on the web... but in short you need a clutch for a fox body 5.0, and I'm not sure about the fork because a lot of people just use the t5 bellhousing as well.

You can use the stock z-bar setup and the stock throw out arm with the T-5 bell by using a fulcrum spacer. You will need to buy a crossmember. I didn't have to, but some have had to cut the driveshaft.
