looking to install a t5 in my 61'. im using a 68 block 200 with dual pattern. i have a 9 inch diaphram clutch and a c7 bell. trans is a t5 from a v8 95 mustang(sn95). i know i need to swap the input and front bearing retainer for a 93- down unit.
the question is about the shifter location. MDL says you have to use the front shif(s10) location, but this seams very far forward. i though about using the rear postion(fox) just i'm not sure about it's to be comfratable with the bench. i will have to fabricate a crossmember due to the lack of the mustang style trans brace under the floor. mine uses a more tradicional style framerail to frame rail style. meaning no shifter box to crossmeber issues. i want a very period interior but not origanal.
