gp001 · 09-06-2001, 02:45 PM

I am currently doing research on a Richmond 6 speed swap into my 66. I am making a custom hydraulic clutch setup (which is taking the most time). From what I have learned, the T-56 has an integrated bellhousing so you can't change it for a scattershield. There was an article in the Jan 97 Mustangs & Fords where they put a Richmond 6 speed in a 65. I would recommend either a cable clutch or hydraulic clutch conversion at the same time.
