Ok ive decided i cant justify spending like 2500$ to do the 5 speed tremec conversion so im goin with the 4 speed toploader. I got one from a relaible source with the 28 spline(so it will fit my 351C). I want to use the hydraulic clutch but im not sure exactly what i need. would it be the same as for the tremec?(pedal, T/O bearing bearing kits with master cylinder, resevoir,adjuster and pedal). would that be all i need? thank you for any advice.Nick IP: 24.1.150.233 |

I think you got everything, then you just need a way to fangle it all together...------------------

well i cheked where i would get the clutch linkage but it is a company that specializes in tremec swaps. does the type of transmission matter when dealing with the clutch? cause darkhorseperformance is the place that sells the kit(pedal, T/O bearing bearing kits with master cylinder, resevoir,adjuster). thanks again guys. finally my mustang is on the way to completion!IP: 24.1.150.233 |

No the type of transmisson doesn't matter to your clutch affairs, as long as the T/O bearing and clutch disc fit on the input shaft.
As for the driveshaft length, that depends on the type of yoke on the 9 inch. As I understand it, there are at least 4 types of yokes, long and wide, long and narrow, short and wide, and short and narrow. That is about the extent of my knowledge, so I will step aside and let someone else who hopefully has a correct length step in and answer  ------------------
