It's ultimately dependent on how you want to go about it.

Getting a used T5 out of a later Fox 5.0 is a possible option to save money. I've seen them as low as $250 but expect to spend around $450. I probably wouldn't buy the full Summit kit because you are paying $2000+ for the transmission. If you want the best T5 transmission you can get you buy a used one and rebuild it with the Astro A5 gearset and perhaps the G-Force case. That's as strong as a T5 will get. If you're not making big power, a later stock Fox 5.0 T5 will probably do. But like any drivetrain part there's guys with 450hp and their transmission lasts forever while at the same time there's guys who break them with 250hp. YMMV.

Then the other part is the clutch actuation of which there are three options:

Hydraulic (either internal or external)
Cable
Factory Equalizer Bar

In any of those cases you will need a new cross member for the T5. You should also use a late model diaphragm clutch and eliminate the helper spring in the pedal assembly. You don't necessarily need a kit. For my Toploader swap I just bought everything myself.

If you go with a hydraulic clutch you will likely be using a late model T5 bellhousing and you will need a different length driveshaft.

If you go with a cable clutch, same deal as above and there are header considerations as well.

If you use the factory Z-bar (or equalizer bar) setup you will use a Toploader bellhousing and an adapter plate to bolt the T5 up to it, not totally sure on whether you can use the C4 driveshaft without modification here. If you end up with a late model block you will need bracket for the engine side of the Z-bar, the later blocks do not have a provision cast into them for this.

I'd also look into the Mustang Steve roller cutch pedal assembly. What I did was buy the bracket and pedals off ebay and sent them to Mustang Steve for modification.

You'll also want a good Flywheel. I bought this one:

Ford 302/351W Lightweight Steel Flywheel, 28 oz., 24.6 Lbs.

Don't sacrifice your acceleration due to a heavy flywheel. Has 157 tooth count for 302/351W Ford applications. Includes 28 oz removable weight. Will work with stock clutch disc. This flywheel is drilled/threaded to work with the following commonly spaced pressure plates and includes 3 dowel...

Thanks for the reply,
I think I am going to go with a cable clutch setup, I heard it reduces the clutch pedal pressure over the stock Z bar setup.

I dont plan on running big HP, just a 289 or 302 with a few bolt-ons.

Just tough to figure out all the parts needed, when there are so many options and ways to go about this.

 

As many Mustangs as there are out there, you'll find some for sale that already have five speeds. Unless you are just set on doing the swap yourself.

 

Oh im perfectly fine being lazy and someone else having already done the swap
But I have not seen a single one yet that has the swap, at least not one just like I am looking for, in those years, in my budget.

 

The 69 Mustang - 2018 Edition

Well, I still have not made up my mind fully on what I am going to do with the car, but in the mean time, I got some more parts for the car while they were on sale this winter. So onward, until, whatever! Lol So in this first edition of "What the **** did they do this time..." we are doing...

There is my thread on when I converted my 69. Might have some helpful pictures and insight. I sourced my T-5 complete with a new clutch from a local message forum for $600. Other other swap parts were from MDL.

As a note, the Cable setup, which works great BTW, does NOT work with long tubes, I tried, lol.

 

Thanks I will read through your thread!
