Told you came to the right place. I'm starting to think if it's possible we've done it or are getting ready to try it.

mmmmm, i believe i got a hold of the site and really got active when it was already done. so i guess i never posted it.

if you have any questions, email me. if you get the whole kit from modern driveline its a easy swap.

he'll even give you just piece by piece. most importantly the clutch pedal. and if you don't have the hangar pieces already in your bracket like some don't, then you can remove it and send it to mustang steve and have him install roller bearing ones. and of course cut down on your brake pedal.

other than that, if you are going cleveland, you can get a 5.0 bellhousing and use the entire 5.0 parts.

I agree..

I new Bruce from Modern Driveline when he was in California. I even used his conversion kit to swap the C-4 in my '68 to a TKO-600. The offer individual pieces as well as whole kits. Just look up Modern Driveline and it's all there. Conversion kits, pedals, shifters, clutches, bell housings and transmissions. all you have to do is call him.

Not to hijack, but here's an article with a 71 'vert as the subject car. Just thought it was cool.

Good article. One thing I would say is ti also consider the cable clutch setup. It was very easy to install and very easy easy to adjust when necessary.

I kinda like my hydraulic set up from American Power Train

In my opinion you can't beat the simplicity of the mechanical linkage.

There now all 3 styles are represented

I know a lot of people do like the hydraulic setup. But the cable setup will never leak and you can route it away from headers which you can't always do with the mechanical linkage.

I keep crushing beer cans with my left leg in anticipation!

Anyone considering this type of swap... I have not made a better modification. The car has a completely different "personality".
