    teflon taped all the joints, and installed the clamps, also used the old skoool pain in the **** T bar valve cover hold downs, had to cut off 3/8" every one, I hope to be driving this, this weekend...

    Yep, your gonna need that and the clutch, flywheel, and pedal ***embly with linkage. You also need to know if your engine has ever been replaced and what year it is if it has, because there a couple different flywheel, clutch and bell housing possibilities that would use one of two different adaptors. But, it will be a m***ive improvement over you automatic as far as drive ability goes, especially if you have the Ford-O-Matic 2 speed.

    I have extra bell housing, fly wheel, clutch...buy the adapter and disc....then pedals. Not a cheap thing to do from scratch....pedals going 100-200 a set....

    Changed the wheels, Slots tires were to big, found the OLD chrome reverse wheels that still took the stock bub caps, had 4 new Goodyear 13" tires....I like it!
