I want to back up my stroked 351W with a Tremec TKO for my 1969 Torino GT fastback. The mustang mods are plenty for this application, but I need some Torino-specific help, Please!! Anybody do this yet? What parts are required? Stock 4-speed pedals? Crossmember mod? Hump changes? Any help wopuld be great, thanks.

I installed mustang T5 in my 1969 torino last winter.

greatest mod i have done to date.

I used stock pedals built my own clutch quadrant to use the factory mustang clutch setup. Had to reroute 2 of my header tubes. crossmember needs to be modified. T5 sits lower in the car. My car was an auto/column shift so i had to cut a big hole in my trans tunnel for the shifter to come up through.
