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. I know one is push and the other pull. Also, since my engine was balanced for a 28oz. flexplate, can I have the flywheel from the 93 (50 oz.) re-balanced for my engine? If so, how much does this usually cost?

Thanks for any help!

My home page has some info on my cable install and the rebalanced flywheel. Other cable sources are www.mustangsteve.com, ronmorris.com and some others.

Yoke - Yes. You can also use one from a C4.
Crossmember - No. Need to fabricate or purchase one.

National Parts Depot has all kinds of conversion parts listed in their catalog.
they have crossmembers, clutch cable linkage adapters,hydraulic clutch adapters, yokes, shifter handles and etc. Most everything for T-5, Tremec or AOD conversions.

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 worthless. What else can I use from the 93? Can I use the pedal as well?

On a side note, could I use the power window motors from the 93? Door locks?

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

Only if you are installing them in another Fox body Mustang. They aren't even close to an early model's pedals and those varied slightly from year to year so make sure you get some out of a 65/66 vehicle and be prepared to spend some $$$ because they are not cheap anymore although you might get lucky.
