- 1972 Coupe w/ unmolested 1969 351W 4V, headers and a T5.
Hah! Hopefully the pictures bit got you
As I mentioned in my intro I have a complete T5 with basically everything I need to put it in my 72 coupe, really the only things left to do are figure out how to connect the clutch pedal, to the clutch fork, and shorten the driveline.
I am thinking of doing a cable driven clutch because the T5 came out of a stock fox body which had a cable driven clutch. I've looked at the cable "kits" from modern driveline and others, but they look just like a basic, possibly even factory, cable. I was thinking from looking at it that I can probably just use an OEM replacement cable for a fox body. I have full length headers on a 351W, so there is still quite a bit of room in the engine bay. Does anyone know if this will work?
I have the plastic radius piece that goes on top of the pedal that I took off of a junkyard car.
Have any of you done a cable setup with your T5? How did you route it, attach it, etc.?
Edit:
The radius piece that I've harvested from a stock fox body.
Some unknown piece from the whole pedal assembly, not sure exactly where it goes? Is this possibly some sort of spring return/holder type thing for the clutch pedal?
