You need the clutch pedal (6 or 8 cyl car, but not a 70 model year). You need the linkage from a 8 cyl car, but this can vary if you don't run a toploader. If you run something else you could convert to either a cable or hyd. Search the site, plenty of guys doing the swap different ways. Good luck. Rocco.
I did the swap on an early ranchero using all Ford parts and a Mustang T-5. I'd stay away from the hydrolic or cable clutch linkage as OEM stuff works just fine. You'll need the proper flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, TO bearing, pilot bearing, bell housing, clutch arm, pedal assembly, Z-Bar and mounts for frame and engine block. I'm planning the same swap for my Maverick. I have most of the parts thanks to the guys in Kentucky.
I have the C-4 & I shift all the time. Leaving it in drive is boring. A shift kit & 2500 rpm stall, with 3:55 gears helps lay the rubber down & chirp the tires....
Absolutely...I had fun with my automatic in my blue Grabber because it was built and would chirp the tires every time I shifted. Then I went to a 4 speed. WOW...it's so much more fun now. I get comments like "Hey...you got a 4 speed in that thing?!!" Of course I shift it to get their attention too. Ain't nuthin like a good strong 347 with a 4 or 5 speed behind it. The 4:30 gears help a tad bit too! I got Mavericks with automatics that will stay automatic but this baby will stay 4 on the floor...maybe 5 in the near future.
If you are bracket racing, then an auto is the way to go. Consistant is what you need to be and an automatic is the way to go, but a stick is SOOOOO much fun. Just put a 5 spd in my Ranchero and WOW it is a new animal!
I think we started a 3 Pedal vs 2 Pedal Debate When I converted my '72 I used all the components (Z-bar, Pedal, frame & engine block pivot etc.) from a '68 Mustang I had.
