I have a 65 Mustang coupe with a 68 289ci. I want to install a t=5 manual what clutch and presure plate would I use? I plan on using a t-5 bell housing and clutch fork  

It depends on what size flywheel you have.  I'm converting my 68 coupe to a 5spd and my flywheel uses a 10.5 inch clutch.  americanmuscle.com has spec clutch kits which are very good for a great price.  Summit or jegs is another good place to look for clutch kits but they are a little higher.  Make sure your flywheel is 157 tooth and has a 28 ounce imbalance.  If you use a 50 ounce imbalance you could destroy your engine.  If you have any questions about the conversion I would go to moderndriveline.com, they are really helpful and they have every part needed to do the 5 spd conversions and have tons of technical info.  

I put a T5 in my 68 last year. I got the trans, bellhousing, clutch, starter, etc out of a 94 mustang gt. The clutch, pressure plate, etc. was in good shape so it was a cheap swap. The flywheel is a 50 oz. versus the 28 oz. on older models. Buy a new 28 oz. at your local autozone or discount, take boththe 28 and 50to a machine shop and let them balance the 50 to match the 28. Then take back the 28 oz. you bought back to the parts store for a refund. this will save you a lot of money. I bought the clutch cable kit from Ron Morris and it works great. A whole lot better than the old stuff. If you need a clutch pedal,shop e bay, I got mine cheap.
The project was fun to do and adds a lot of fun over the old c4 trans  

I am in the middle of doing this same install in a '69 Mach1 with a 351W original auto.  Did you have any problems getting enough travel from the cable actuated clutch pedal kit to generate full travel at the clutch lever?  Mine will not move far enough to provide throwout bearing clearance at rest and free running clutch disk when depressed.  I have installed new 28 oz flywheel, new Fenco Dynapak clutch, bell housing and T5 trans.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

You know craig I had the same concern when I installed my cable clutch on my 65 Fastback. It really seemed to be a small amount of travel. I had rebuilt my clutch pedal assembly though using ball bearings and a new shaft so that free play was at a minimum in the pedal assy. They use these clutches in the newer mustangs so I know there is enough pull. I am old school on this so I was trying to get some clearance and when I got what I thought was right it wouldnt pull the clutch all the way out at full travel. So I bit the bullet and tightened it to where it engaged at half pedal. You know what,,,, I havent had a bit of trouble with it. I surmised that these newer clutches required less free play, or maybe the cable doesnt hold tension on it, I dont know, but at any rate its working and there seems to be no problem  

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to hear.  I was wondering if I was the only person who had this problem.  I too have the ball bearing pedal assembly and was pulling my hair out trying to get more clutch lever travel.

After I posted this I discovered that I could reduce the thickness of the rubber pedal "up" stop which gives me another 1/4 - 3/8" clutch lever travel.  I just finished the trans install so will be able to give better info on the success soon.  

Thanks again,

Yeah actually I believe its in the instructions to cut off that clutch stop because you dont need it for the cable clutch. Your disgarding the return spring also so you dont need that stop, the cable clutch returns based on the pressure plate springs tossing it back. I think thats also why it requires less free play.
