Default Getting ready for t 5 swap!!

I have a 67 coupe with a 289 and a c4 thats getting swapped for a rebuilt and reinforced t5 from Texas Motor Sports. The final parts I need are supposed to come in on Monday, so I'm going to pull my existing tranny out on Sunday. I have a clutch/brake pedal assembly, t5, late model bell housing, clutch fork, Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, hydraulic clutch kit, crossmember, flywheel, BandM short throw shifter, and a 28 spline slip yoke. Can anyone think of anything else I might need or have any advice for me? Wish me luck.

Yeah, Mustang Mania built one for me, but it wasn't cheap. They wanted $380 down and then either my left nut or my first child as final payment.

oh wow......thats a solid blow to the gut....i dont see why NO ONE makes a clutch assembly....

they have time to make sequencial flashing tail lights....but not something as commonly used as a pedal......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oh you dont have to do that....its not in the near future i would be doing this....just in the sorta near future....

i guess one could always be pulled from an older ford car of the same platform from a junk yard or something eh?

i wonder if they would charge as much from a junk yard...

Probably not. Mine is going to be completely rebuilt with modern bushings and everything. "Better than new.." they say, but we'll see. Its the only place I could find one.

recently i saw the pedal assemblies going for 230$ used at a swap meet.

did you have to modify the clutch pedal to work with the t-5 linkage/clutch cable???

thats still ridiculous considering what it is.....two sticks of metal with rubber squares on one end and a shaft connecting the two on the other.....but...how do you find out about swap meets around your area???


sounds almost like it would be similar price to just buy a parts car wrecked mustang with a 6 cyl and manual and use the assembly out of that......jeez.......
