With the floor pedals some type of bell crank could be made easy enough if you want to keep the pedals there and use a cable . I am just trying what I hope may be easy application with hanging pedals..
Yeah, another Ford in a Ford!! If you're cutting the orignial firewall, you can hang a master cylinder on it. My old setup was that way with the C4 before I started this rebuild. We trimmed the old firewall enough to fit the 302 in there and left the rest in tact. I was running a Pinto MC without a power booster hooked to a brake pedal that was fashioned from some unknown Ford from the 70's or 80's. But with the rebuild, I've put in a new big block firewall for more clearance and a cleaner look. I'm trying to keep from putting things on it or through it. That big firewall also has a wider hump in the middle which limits gas pedal & brake pedal space when using the under the floor methods. I had to bend the brake pedal toward the outside of the car to make space for gas pedal. Thus, trying to configure a clutch pedal under there with it seems impossible if I also want the exhaust pipe on that side too. I'm studying the 90 degee under dash units now to see if there's something that will work with the space I have. If it doesn't, I can always revert back to my AOD plans. My x-member is already modified for the C4. That modification should also accomodate the T-5 by redrilling the holes for the mount. The AOD would require more trimming of the x-member.

I've been studying the T-5 threads on HAMB and various Mustang sites and they say you can move the T-5 shifter forward several inches on the Mustang T-5 by using the tailhousing from 83-93 chevy S-10. They also say 90-95 Mustang V8 T-5's have a higher torque rating. The 94-95 has a bit longer input shaft which requires you to use the 94-95 bellhousing with it but the overall length is supposed to be the same.

The 90 degree underdash units all have hydraulic clutches. I've found several links to change the T-5 to hydraulic clutch by simply adding a slave cylinder to the clutch fork. If you want links to any of this stuff let me know....I haven't bought anything yet but I'm doing lots of reading....LOL!
