tranny swap

ok, I'm sure this was touched upon somewhere but I'm gonna post it anyway...
I am going to do the 3speed auto to T5 manual od swap and I was just wondering if you guys had any pointers. It'll sit behind a 351w with headman "swap" headers.

Info on installing the clutch, what to do with the size of the automatic break pedal, and if the 85 foxbody clutch will work, and can I use the bellhousing that comes with it.

Thanks a bunch!

check out moderndriveline.com they can give you a list of everything needed with prices as well. If I can get my email up I'll post back with the list they gave me for converting my 66Gt from auto to the 5spd tremec or t56 6spd.
