later that evening, i put on the bell housing, and found out i needed more parts
i ordered the parts which were for the clutch linkage, the next day, i finnished putting in the transmission, bolted up the cross member, put the exhaust back, and bolted up the starter... went FAIRLY smoothly, slight hickup w/ the cross member bolts as they are SEVEN INCHES LONG!!!!! so i found some in the shed and got it done.. drive shaft went back in the same day. this morning, i went to ford to pick up the clevis pins and hooks for the clutch linkage, bolted my seat and 90% of my interior back in, and started her up... i drove it all the way to dallas mustang to pick up a upr firewall adjuster and mach 1 billet shift knob... (10 bucks, i didn't want the billet, so if anyone wants to trade for a non aluminum ball shift knob.....) haven't put the clutch adjuster on yet, but i think my syncros on 3rd and 4th are bad, and i think there's something wrong w/ whatever shift fork operates 2nd... oh and that syncro too... but hey, i've got less than 400 invested in the whole swap, 200 of which were clutch and flywheel, and another hundred was the adjuster, shift knob and random misc parts, and 30 the pedals... trans, bell housing, driveshaft, clutch cable, starter and cross member and computer were only $50
