Ben,

Check out my thread from the beginning. I edited the whole thing so it is not so cluttered. There maybe pictures that you haven't seen because instead of posting new reply I just edited old ones. If that makes sense. The clutch setup is a rosehill performance clutch slave unit and bracket. I had to put an adapter on the slave to work with my 3/16 brake line. But the wilwood 3/4 master cylinder threaded onto the brake line perfect. The master cylinder was mounted on the outside of the frame rail with custom brackets and pushrod that was fabricated in the above pictures. Remember that you need to have a 6:1 pedal ratio. So my pivot was 3 inches below the pedal shaft. Also forgot to mention that the slave pushrod mounts to the big hole on the clutch fork. Don't use the hole where the normal cable goes. If you do you will get a weird throw and won't be engaging in the same spot. Also the slave is a 7/8 bore that comes with the kit. So it is recommended to use a 3/4 master with 1.25 inches of throw. Or you can use a 7/8 bore but will be harder on the pedal effort. The clutch is a stock Fox body mustang. The clutch fork is the same fox mustang. The bellhousing is a 1982 mustang gt SROD. The flywheel is 157t 28oz fidanza. But you can have a fox body flywheel machined down to the weight of your AOD flexplate. The starter I used is a 1992 mustang gt ministarter. Those came stock for those cars but you can use a 87-91 starter if you don't want to wire the ministarter.
