i found way to mount the computer and the pedal assembly up front where it belongs without too much fabrication. i didnt have to do any wiring though. I bolted my pedal in, then I pulled the wiring harness over the top of the bracket, and across to the left side of the footwell. For a while...

that car looks awesome. I wish i could find more to race. they are always a close race if they are lightly modded. seriously though nice job on the resto. I have a pearlescent pearl 95 lincoln mark viii, and the paint is nearly perfect but needs work in a few spots. But on the drivers side...

howabout another update! and with that update I have to offer an apology. When I originally sat about on this endeavour to put a clutch pedal in my 2 pedal mark, I wanted to go about doing it in such a way, that very little fabrication would be needed, the car would remain intact, and...

unfortunately, about all i can do is research, measure, and screw with the pedal assemblies for now, since I am already 42k in debt, buying an actual T56 right now is impractical for me, but I sure do know how to convert a car over as I have done it twice. I will have the pedal assembly...

the gto shifter sits taller though, and uses a remote setup, so you may end up ultimately cutting a larger hole in the floor pan for the shifter, but it sure would put the shifter in a nice place in that car

pro slushbox. haha. i used to run built autos in everything. I had a built automatic with a 3k stall converter in both my crown vic, and my monte SS, and the stick swaps dropped both ETs by 4/10ths of a second in each case. The monte became an animal all around monster. I was so flabbergasted...

another hint after converting 2 different cars that were never offered with sticks to sticks, dont be in a rush. i know thats cliche, but if you dont rush, itll go much faster. When you are taking your measurements to cut your shifter hole, dont have any of the clutch components installed. just...

manual lever position sensor. its the little plug for the ECM that tells the car what position the shifter is in. just leave it plugged in., remember what i said about the tailshafts too. Try an F-body one first, it might give you the clearance you need, if not theres always the GTO housing

unfortunately i dont own a digital camera, but I will try to borrow one from my friend before final assembly.

another new tip P.S. the goal in a manual swap in these cars is to get that shifter back as far as possible. The factory T56 cobra shifter location is placed in the exact same spot as a T45 or a tremec on an SN95 mustang, so that doesnt help much unless youre crazy enough to try to make a...

if youre starting the swap, heres another tip. The MLPS MUST STAY ON THE CAR. leave it plugged in, and hang it up out of the way. if you dont, your car will not run when you are done, and youre going to swear at yourself for several hours untill you finally figure it out

youre welcome. the thought of lengthening 100 wires seemed a little ridiculous, so i looked around for another solution. In my opinion, you should stay away from the hydraulics. The only weakness the clutch cable has after you put the billet quadrant and firewall adjuster on is the cable itself...

The shifter housing on a T56 sits about 2 and a half to three inches farther back than it does on a T45. I am pretty sure you can get away with not building one of those awful shifter boxes. Also, I talked to that kid a few times, hes really nice, but I found a way to do it so that you dont have...
