Flywheel Question

[347Fastback]

I am doing a T-5 conversion on my 65 fastback and I have a couple of questions. My car is a 4spd car and when I took the clutch and flywheel out I found out the flywheel is 11 inch instead of 10.5 or 10. Is this stock for this car??? Will it work with a late model clutch setup...????

If the flywheel is 157tooth, it will work with the t5 bell. If it's 164tooth, it's not gonna fit (been there, done that...)- you can either get another flywheel (what i did) or use the 4sp bell and an adapter (not the best route, IMO). If going with cable or hydraulic for the clutch, you will need to use the late model bellhousing and fork. What motor is in front of this t5 currently?

Got a 302 out of a 69 Mach 1... It is coming out as soon as it warms up around here. I should get my ceramic coated longtubes in the morning... I ended up ordering the mustang steve master kit with new pedals and cable setup...

Well once you figure out which flywheel you got, you'll be pretty close. Weather's supposed to be nice this weekend-- I'm actually plannin' a small cruise up here for Saturday. Hope your swap goes smoother than mine. Did you get a crossmember yet? I'd say if I was down your way, you could take a look at mine -- easy to make if you got a welder. I'll have to check out your car sometime.
Good Luck
