:SNSign: Hey guys did some searching and couldnt find the lenght of driveshaft needed when doing a tko 600 swap into a 65. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am going to tear up my tunnel this weekend and plan on dropping the tranny in. I would also like to know the easiest way to convert to cable clutch. I have all the equipment that comes off of a 5.0 mustang buit i dont think that is going to work.

Modern driveline has a kit for 259. Is it worth the price or are there better kits out there.

If it matters it is a 351 bored and stroked.

Thanks Eric

I would look at one of the many hydraulic kits. Much easier pedal effort. Try JMC Motorsports in San Diego Cali. I used thier T-5 kit slave kit on my Cobra, no complaints.

BTW, for shipping costs only I have a 1969 302/C4 driveshaft with an 8" rear. Want it so you can leave your original alone? PM me.
