Can I make this stuff work together?

[chaka]

So I have decided to put the 2.3 w/ the mazda 5-speed in the II.

Do you guys think it is at all possible to use the ranger pedal assembly to do this?

Can I swap the pedal assemblies between my 79 (was manual) and the II (auto)?

Or am I going to need to scavange some parts off of a II.

If so what would I need? Just the pedal or the whole mounting bracket that is down there?

I think that the easiest course is to use a MII manual trans pedal assembly.

It would be interesting to see if the Fox clutch pedal assembly can be grafted into the MII assembly so that you could use the more modern Fox bellcrank. I'm sure that others here would be interested in what you find, especially if you could post some pics and measurements.

If you use the MII manual trans pedal assembly, and want to use a hydraulic master/slave, I'd bet you could adapt to the MII clutch pedal either with the Ranger parts or with relatively inexpensive aftermarket parts. Several companies make hydraulic clutch master conversion kits. Since the MII clutch pedal produces a "pull" in the stock cable attachment location, I think that you would have to attach the clutch master below the pivot to get a "push".
