    I was reading the t-5 conversion and it doesn't say anything about what they did for the driveshaft what does everyone do with this swap? what parts used etc.

    Swap from six cylinder, 3 speed standard column shift:

    Complete 91 Fox Mustang 5.0 with T-5 and EFI.

    Mustang Steve's quadrant, clutch cable, Hooker headers. I made the crossmember and used the stock driveshaft.

    I shortened mine.

    I used the Mustang quadrant and modified the Maverick pedal bracket to accept it. I also reinforced the firewall by installing a plate behind the brake master cylinder after finding the limitations of the stock sheet metal.(where the cable mounts)

    I made the crossmember.

    I used the hydraulic clutch setup from modern driveline. Driveshaft is out of a fox body stang. I must admit I didnt even try to put my stock driveline back in.

    I had a shaft custom made. Your ride height will have some effect on how much engagement the slip yoke has in the trans.
