Swapping in a T5 Transmission in a Mustang - PART 1 of 2

This is it, the big tuna! Replacing the T10 4-speed in my '66 for a T5. My car had a T10 Sideloader transmission in the car when I bought it. It worked great, and I was pleased to have it over an Auto. But then I found a T5 for sale and it was "impulse buy time"! I knew I wanted to eventually do a T5 swap, but a deal came around that I had to have. I wish I had done more research as this T5 will work but it will cost more to swap because of the year. Heads up! To save some money and headache, get a 1983-1993 T5 instead of the 1994-2001. I cover the differences in the video on how to make this one work Parts list: 2001 T5 5-speed T5 Transmission Mount, rubber (from MDL) T5 Short throw stock shifter (from MDL) Clutch, 10", standard style, setup for cable throw-out bearing (from MDL) Block plate, standard size for 289, purchased for T5 swap (from MDL) Flywheel bolts, ARP, 7/16", 6 pieces, black oxide (from MDL) Clutch lever, made for 79-93 SBF, needed for new cable clutch (from MDL) Bell Housing, 6 bolt, made for 79-93 SBF, utilizes cable clutch (from MDL) Shift knob, Hurst, white, standard 5 speed pattern (from MDL) Shift lever, Hurst, 10" x 5.5" x 1.3", chrome (from MDL) Shift boot, Hurst, rubber, with chrome trim (from MDL) Clutch Cable Conversion Kit (from MDL) Crossmember, special for T5 conversion (will need to be modified, Ebay) Yoke, 28 spline, 1330 U-Joint, made for T5 conversion (Ebay) Speedometer Converter, Electronic to Mechanical, Ford thread style, Bluetooth calibration (Dakota Digital) T5 Input shaft, w/ bearing and retainer, fits 83-93 SBF, 9-1/4 long, 23T (Ebay) T5 rebuild kit, includes shims, bearings, clips, and synchros (Ebay) Clutch Pressure Plate bolts, ARP, qty 6, 5/16" bolt (Ebay) Transmission Fluid, Mobil 1 Synthetic, ATF, 1 quart containers (Summit) Flywheel, 157T, 28oz, made for 10" and 10.5" clutches, OEM style replacement (Summit) - I don't recommend this Flywheel, it caused problems after the install Reverse Light Pigtail, connects to side of T5 case for backup lights (LMR) Speedometer wire harness, fits stock T5 transmission plug (LMR) Service transmission, new bearings, seals, and synchros, install 9-1/4" input shaft (local shop did the work) Shorten driveline to 50", purchased new tubing, new 1330 u-joint, new 1310/1330 u-joint (local shop did the work) If you have questions about any of the items above, please let me know. :) The car is a 1966 Mustang Coupe with a factory V8 and 4 speed transmission.
