I wish I could be of more help here....so I'll see what I can do.

1. I'd go with the cable clutch personally....and not just because I have one. It is cheaper, and easier to set up. I made my own pedal, but I'm sure the ones on the market are wonderful. BE SURE to keep the cable away from the headers (JBA shorties work wonderful for this swap BTW)

2. You are in luck swapping from a C-4 to a T-5....the front yoke of the driveshaft is a direct swap....believe it or not this is not the case for the manual tranny cars. The speedo will probably not be a problem, your old driven gear on the speedo cable will slip right in and should read the same as it did with the C-4. You will need a new tranny crossmember.

3. Can't help you much on the harness.....I used the one from the donor car and spliced in. Looks pretty good, but there is a LOT of left over wire. HOWEVER, I have also done another car using the Street Rod harness from Ford Motorsports--excuse me FRT now--and it is basically a production harness, so you have the same problem with where to tuck away the extra wire.

Good luck. doc.
