    manual to power brake help

    Ok I took the pedal out of both cars. (I have one that is power) And I see how the power pedal is longer and hangs from a different spot. Still Not that big a deal to make a non power pedal into a power pedal. So I guess I go that route and get the regular power booster and mod the pedal.

    manual to power brake help

    As both pedals sit in the same place and the upper mount is the same then its just the rod to pedal location that changes and yes Im pretty sure I can mod it to work. What drill a hole or weld a bolt?

    manual to power brake help

    67 has manual brakes. Upgrading to power. Should I get the conversion booster and keep the manual pedal or mod the pedal to work with the regular power booster? And where should I get it from?

    Toploader Question

    Interesting. Yes a picture is needed. The reverse lights should be on the case activated by the linkage rod and there is no neutral switch.

    transmission?

    Pretty sure they used the T5 in 2000 cobras as I have one from one of those in my 67. I remember I ran the number back when I got it.

    transmission?

    Didnt ford use the T5 up till around 2000 in the cobras? Its still a pretty good trans. Yes I agree I have a toploader that has had the 2nd gear syncro going out for 20 years. No worse today than when I got it. Shifts fine unless I slam it in. One day it might need to be worked on but I doubt...

    t5 wont go in

    Yes that works if everything is good and its just hanging up on the clutch plate not being aligned. But in the matter of swapping things like a t5 into a 60's car there might be other issues. Just trying to cover the bases

    t5 wont go in

    Id take the clutch and t/o bearing out then reinstall. Then try with the clutch and no t/o bearing. It will narrow down where the problem is.

    Which 351 headers etc?

    I agree, and they are heavier. But they will flow better that the 67 289 manifolds on there now and can always be swapped out with shorties without reworking the exhaust later.

    Does the door tag match the frame stamp? It souldnt be too big of a deal but they can be asses about it. Had the same problem with a 67 that had the door replace. Made me jump through hoops but in the end it was ok
