Use a stock 65 clutch pedal and weld the qadrant on that you buy from mustang steve (search him on Google) :)

So did you have to get your drive shaft cut shorter for the t5 cuz I know the original is to long. And what did you do for the pedal and clutch cable?

[MichaelVangaa]

@DaFsPilot I actually both shortened the driveshaft AND bought a conversion T5 yoke. I think I could have used the original yoke and just shortened the driveshaft. I used the original '95 clutch cable that I routed through the engine mount. I had to buy a new cable cause I melted the first cable by routing it too close to the long tube competition headders. Then I had a hole in the firewall that I put the cable through and mounted it on the bracket, that I had welded on top of the clutch lever

Dont know the backspace. I bought them used. They are 17" and 8" wide with 235/40-17 tires. They are tight fit so i rolled the fenderlips on the rear. Car has been lowered 2'1/2 inches with reverse eye leaf springs and 620"' coils with 1 ring Cut off

Yeah i used the original 289 Oil pan and pickup. The clutch pedal is from a 67. Should probably have used a 66 but this is what I got from a friend and it fits ok. Since the T5 is a cable you need to weld a special cable attachment on top of the pedal before you install it. You can buy them on the net.

I unfortunately don't know the cam or engine output but i am planning to get a dyno pull. The air intake is from my local tuning shop. Don't know the brand:(

[DaFsPilot]

Nevermnd figured it out

[DaFsPilot]

Quick question how did you bolt up your pedal

[DaFsPilot]

Ok thanks.

[DaFsPilot]

Ok, that's a lot of help now I'm lost on what year to get the clutching pedal from because people are telling me the pedal from a 5.0 won't work.
