    Vaccuum leak....need help!

    I have a 65 coupe (see sig) which I recently put a 306 ci with all mods listed below. This car has no power steering, no power breaks and a T5 tranny (cable clutch). The car runs relatively well (although I haven't driven her hard during break in) and idles fine. When giving it gas the...

    New clutch – jerky during feathered take off - ?

    Sorry for the hi-jack, but I was interested in the "holes through the crank to the crank case" debate. I recently installed a T5 and didn't seal the flywheel-to-crank bolts. I'm also noticing what seems to be oil leaking from where the tranny meets the bell housing at the bottom. I know it...

    Carburetor question ?

    I agree with VictorII, for simplicity, the edelbrock's are the way to go over the Holley, IMO. No complaints on performace, either.

    T5 swap, but not the same ole' question....

    Hey Glen, how's it goin? Thanks again for the extra work and effort to get me that flywheel. Great doing business with ya. How close to the spline inside the yoke can I trim to? What's the bare minimum of travel needed?

    T5 swap, but not the same ole' question....

    I recently did the T5 swap for my 65. I went ahead and shortened my driveshaft the needed length, as every post I read notated the fact that this would need to be done. Now I'm helping a friend do the same T5 swap into a 65 coupe as well and I had a thought.......has anyone tried to shorten...

    C4 to T5 swap general questions- 65/66 Mustang

    I've done the swap as well and I had no clearance problems with my hooker long tube headers. May have to fab a bracket to keep the cable free of any problems. The tranny sizes are practically identical. The shifter lines up perfectly with no mods. Will need to buy a crossmember, tranny...

    t5 28oz flywheel?

    OK, I'm a complete novice, totally learning as I go so forgive the ignorance. D Hearne, I will be using a T5 from a 93. I found a 157 tooth flywheel that I can use that is rebalanced 28 oz. I bought a new stock clutch kit to replace the old one. Will this work? I know I should've considered...

    T5 Swap

    . I'm in the middle of this myself. You will need a crossmember ($130), tranny mount ($40), clutch cable ($260) and a pedal assembly if your car was originally an automatic. If you don't have the donor car itself, you'll need a yoke as well. Otherwise you could use the yoke from the donor...

    How many teeth on my flywheel??

    I have a 65 coupe that I will be swapping a 93 LX 5.0 T5 into. I have the complete donor car. I want to order a 28oz flywheel for the T5, but don't know how many teeth the 93's FW has. 164 (most likely) or 157. I can't pull the tranny to count the teeth this week but wanted to order the FW to...

    t5 28oz flywheel?

    . Thanks for the reply. I checked JEG's and I WISH they were only $60. More like $260!! Damn. Thanks, TJM.......now all I have to do is figure out how many teeth! 164 or 157. Anyone know how to tell other than counting? I have it in the donor car still, but I won't be able to pull the...

    t5 28oz flywheel?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for the most inexpensive flywheel for a T5 tranny (from a 93 LX 5.0) that has a 28oz balance to match up with my 65 coupe. Thanks for any help

    Installing a T5, is there a clutch cable adapter?

    what else? Could I reuse the clutch pedal and/or the brake pedal from the 93?

    Installing a T5, is there a clutch cable adapter?

    what do i need to buy? Thanks, guys. I didn't know I could use the yoke. I planned on buying the yoke, crossmember and pedal assy. Is the adapter for the clutch easy to install or should I plunk down a couple hundred bucks for a new cable and be done with it? The idiots at MP were...

    Installing a T5, is there a clutch cable adapter?

    I'm installing a T5 from a 93 5.0 LX into my 65 coupe. I have the whole donor car and want to use as much of the parts as possible. I know I need things like a pedal assy, crossmember and yoke, but was wondering if there is an adapter for the clutch cable so I can use the cable out of the 93...

    cost comparison and benefits of auto to manual tranny conversion

    Find a donor late model stang and pull the tranny and everything that goes with it. If you have the "whole" car, you would still need to buy the pedal assembly, clutch cable, cross member and tranny mount because these don't interchange. You'll have to shorten the driveshaft as well. I've...
