going to put a T-5 into my 1960 Ford 292. going to use an '83 Mustang trans. the spline is 1-1/16 10 spline. I've been told the '67-'68 Mustang 10'' clutch will work. Do you have any other facts-parts- etc. that would help me?

Y-Guy Wood60:    Couple of things that might help you. Use a #6203 roller bearing

               instead of the bushing. I had to cut about 3/8" off my main shaft to

               keep from bottoming out in the crank.(Wiz wheel does good) I put an

               11" clutch in mine 'cause it fit the flywheel, You may want to take

               the flywheel with you, to the parts store. Probably would be a good

                idea to surface the F/W anyway.

                                              Hope this helps,

                                                   Bill

Bill;

I bought one of those roller bearings for my T-5 install, but the fit on the input shaft was soooo tight, I couldn't do it. I was afraid to smack the end of the tranny to get in, so I went back to the bronze bushing. I never checked for alignment between bellhousing center and crank center, but the bushing worked out fine and there is NO vibration in the driveline at all when cruising, shifting, etc.
