    my car was originally a column shift car. someone converted it to a 3 speed manual.

    I appear to have a stock maverick clutch brake and gas pedal.

    I have installed rod and customs rc107 kit upfront and have deleted the shock towers.

    for fresh install old 302 and c3 has been removed and I have obtained what I am told is a 94 roller 302 with a t5 they were both from the same donor car.

    I am trying to piece together what I need to do to get brakes and clutch cable installed

    I have pick and pulled a booster master cyl out of a 2000 mustang I see that there will have to be modifications to the mounting location as the bolts obviously dont line up.

    and as for the clutch cable I am at a loss after reading up on this on the forum I am left more confused. the reason I say this is because there is alot of controversy over what to do, dont get me wrong every way could be right. (hydraulic, cable or fork)

    what modifications need to happen behind the dash and etc for the cables and such for the clutch and brakes?


    so I am hoping for a tailored response to my install on the best way to proceed.
