Hi David, welcome here, waiting to share with you and guys who knows a lot about this swap. You will find threads about this AT to MT swap. Welcome from France :)

Welcome What rims do you have? They remind me the ones I had on my first Mustang, was a 73 Grandé.

Is roller bearings C5ZZ-2478-rb is what I need to adapt brake and clutch pedals on my 73 AT pedal bracket?

Don't think it can help but mines on the Mexican one are 28.54 and 30.50". My rear end is a Dana 44, so should be totally different. Also I measured from end of axle till flange.

I know now why I was unsure about the 14 or 17" tailhousing. The Mach 1 Mexican Sprint, which has as well a Toploader, with the 17" tailhousing. The reason is because those cars came from factory with Dana 44 rear end. I didn't measure the drive shaft yet, but I am almost sure it will be around...

It must be this? https://www.mustangsteve.com/product/bbk/ I take any advise that would be better for me and my car. Thank you everyone.

Some update. I finally go for a Toploader, as my rear end is 3.25, I'm afraid about the 5th gear front a TKO. Anyway, I found, and I am luck for that, a RF D2AR-7006-CB W1, need a complete rebuild. The Hurst shifter is with the trans. Plus a bellhousing (explosive proof) plus the starter, and...

Is Marti report could give sometimes mistakes? My Mach1 vin is 3F05Q...... Marti report says that this car came with  front brake dics but I have drums, with power booster.   As a great member propose me a set of pedal with the Z bar, how could I be 100% sure this will fit on my car? I know...

Welcome here. You have here a beautifull one :)

Hi, I receive a quotation from Modern Driveline. The cable kit can be used with a new bellhousing that fit T5 or other modern trans, and I want to use a Toploader. The only way could be to use an hydraulic system. At the mean time I receive a message from a member that propose me a set of...

What I need to do more is too look for thread on subjects I'm looking for. Very interesting here about the trans swap I want to do.

"Your vehicle was actually produced on March 23, 1973" So I was 6 years 7 month and 25 days. About the Mach 1 Sprint from Mexico, no Marti reports, but should be more or less the same. For the story, In 1973, my parents bought a brand new Ford Taunus station wagon.

Welcome back. Is it a coupé hecho en Mexico?

I will go with the cable, but it is ok with a Toploader and factory 351C bell housing? Then if it's more easy with a Toploader with 17" tail housing, I will find one. Don't know if it's possible to extend a drive shaft, but sure it's possible to shortened it. Plus if it's too complicate for the...

That means that I don't need the Z bar if I choose to use the cable kit? Well sounds good, I will find a Toploader with the 17" tail housing if that can be more simple for me. Here is pics from this 67 Toploader, and you can see as well the input shaft from the Toploader I rebuilt for the Mach...

Very nice, Good job!!! Is this blue paint is same as original? If so need to find here in Europe, I hope...

Surprise to find another mexican Mach 1 here, and happy :) I recently rebuilt my Toploader, if you still need help I have pics from this Toploader. The shifter on mine is brand new, needed some small modification to fit the mount. But I'm sad the previous owner didn't keep or rebuilt the...

Hello,  Since last weekend I think about rebuild my car with a Toploader instead of the C6 I understand that it's not a simple thing to do, but as the car is almost naked, it's a good opportunity to do that. Also I prefer to drive with a manual transmission, this is personnal, everyone has his...

Thanks. So for the moment I keep the stock distributor and later will see with ignition conversion kit.
