I'm most of the way though converting my 72 Fastback from auto to a T56 Magnum. What's left is I need to work out the clutch cable setup. I'll be going hydraulic at some point, but right now I'm going to keep it mechanical. I really just need to get this thing driving as cheaply as possible at this point then circle back around when I have some more cash.
I swapped out the entire pedal assembly with a factory manual pedal setup, so that end is basically what it would have been if it came with a manual. In the interests of keeping this cheap for the moment, what I'd like to know is if there is a cable that will go from the stock pedals to the new clutch setup without a conversion kit?
This kit looks like where I want to be, but any chance a stock cable would work for this? If so, anyone know where to even get one as I'm not having luck chasing those down.

Next I need a clutch fork. MDL has this. Is there anything special about this or can i just get any fork for the same application newer Mustang?

And finally I need a throw out bearing but have no idea what I need. Appreciate any feedback on this one.
Again I know that I should probably just suck it up and go hydraulic now, but this I need to get this wrapped up quickly and cheaply for the moment and revisit later.
Thanks for any advice.
