- Part 1 of the TKX 5 speed install in my 1968 F100. In this truck I’m running the 3.27 1st gear or the wide ratio option. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for watching.

Good video dude! I Look forward to more
I’m literally doing the same exact thing you are on a 69 f100.
But I have a 6 speed.
Good luck with your build.
So great project,I have a 68 as well with factory 4 speed and a 360 would like to do the same. Not sure what bell housing I can use to install a 5 speed.
You would have to measure the bell housing depth you have now and go from there. You could probably run the FE car bell and adapter but that’s a guess. I don’t have much experience with the FE. Good luck with your project.
Do you remember the depth of the bellhousing that you used?
6.25 inches
Did you get your adapter plate from Speed Gems? Do you happen to have the part number? The only one I see listed is the MT901 but it shows for truck bellhousings. Thanks!
I used this one from American Powertrain americanpowertrain.com/shop/bell-housing-adapters/ford-t5-to-ford-4-speed-bell-housing-adapter-plate/
Can you provide links to clutch set up and flywheel planning on doing same swap
Any info on how to convert 302 with automatic C4 to a manual 5spd? Is it more cost efficient to start with a manual truck?
Depends on the cost of the truck. you will need to get a clutch pedal assembly along with the z bar setup and bellhousing. Factory stuff can be found pretty reasonable and works fine.
Where did you position and reference the mag base when indicating bellhousing
Took a couple bolts out of the flywheel. That gave me enough room to mount the base.
@@flipflopsgarage okay so I'm just wondering if your magbase is attached off center on the flywheel how do you turn the flywheel and get the indicator to spin on center to sweep the bellhousing edge......
Since you are measuring offset the mag base doesn’t have to be centered. As long as you keep it in the same spot and measure 4 spots on the opening you will see how much offset you have.
@@flipflopsgarage but you are rotating flywheel to sweep bellhousing opening right?.....sorry if I'm missing something here but I indicate parts that I grind at work within .0005 ( tenths of an inch) with mag base in a fixed position then rotate part I'm to grind in the jaws of the grinder. I'm trying to mentally picture what your doing but it seems total opposite from what I do at work.....what am I missing....I watched your vid again but don't see you actually running through the process just the end results
What year mustang bell housing did you get so I can maintain the factory z bar and clutch set up in my 78f100?
It was from a 70. Make sure it's aluminum because the trucks are cast iron and have a different depth.
Ok dumb question the factory trucks clutch linkage will work with the shorter depth?and I have the 164 tooth flywheel so will I have to get a different flywheel and starter
@@jackgrenner2827 Yes you will need the 157t flywheel for the setup. Every part of my clutch setup is stock. Your starter might work I'm not sure about that. I didn't have to change mine. There isn't a link that I know of to the clutch kit. I called McLeod and told them what I was doing and they set me up with that kit in the video. Took about 2 weeks to get it.
I want to do the same thing on my '66. Which Hurst shifter is that?
It's just the Hurst lever on the stock TKX shifter.
