How difficult would it be to take all of the 4 speed components and drive train out of a 1972-1973 mustang and add it to a 1972-1973 torino?  Would the fit be difficult to achieve? Would the pedals be the same as well as all the mounting brakes and things of that sort??

the pedal hangers aren't the same, nor is the z-bar. not saying it cant be done. but for the amount of time spent fabricating.... I'd by the  correct stuff. it's only money and you can't take it with ya!

Tighten it down until it snaps and then back it off a half turn!

Use a McLeod hydraulic throwout instead, it'll work off the standard hydraulic clutch reservoir and require no linkages.

Its how I'll be running the A833 4 speed in my 73 Torino. Mine wasn't a factory 4 speed so I'm going to have to install a Wilwood universal pedal with built in master in order to overcome this

Tilton seems to make good products. I am going to be using one of their release bearing setups on my TKO once I get it installed. I have experience with their master cylinders and they work just fine. The build quality seems really nice and I haven't heard of any failures. Just throwing more options out there.
