I'm looking to see if someone on the board here have a 65-68 mustang that converted to a t5 tranny? I'm having problems with the newer style clutch cable install, its the only thing holding me from making it rain on 50DEEP, Lol, just wanna know if someone here has experience doing this kinda shit or any tips or tricks, thanx in advance

I would ditch that cable and run a hydraulic setup. yu could get a hydraulic setup going for around $350, it has a much cleaner look and you can run whatever header you want without worrying about burning the cable.

im running the cable clutch, i had to go with shorties. The long tubes melted my clutch cable the first time around. Its a real simple setup in my opinion, installed it about 3 years ago, and havent had to adjust really anything.

I have a T5Z in my '65 I am using a cable setup. I had the Headman long tubes for a 302 and had to get the set for a 351 to avoid burning the cable.

They looked like black 17" to me? You wouldn't have spotted me though, because I was in my pops 06 F250...

Your coupe is not hard to spot. Looks pretty unique with the paint scheme & the hurst emblem on the back. A cruise would be a good idea soon. Maybe I will setup a small daytime cruise next weekend. But, Kanye has the night cruise setup for 1/9/10, you should roll out to that 1...

Aww yeah thts a title I won't mind having under my belt. Better hope I don't have my gears by then.

But the late night meet on the 9th should be legit. Chino will be the ambassador so nobody feels left out.

Post up info about the hydraulic clutch though. Don't know much about how those operate
