Guys, I've been racking my brain the last few weeks with engine/tranny swap ideas and now I'm going with this....

Here's what I drive,
86 4x2 F150 300I-6 3 spd OD, shortbed/flareside

Here's what I'm doing.

A 93mustang 331 stroker EFI with the T5 from the same car. I'm going to order a harness from Painless wiring and it should be a fairly easy swap, for the engine at least.
The tranny though, - I already know the shifter will sit right in front of the seating area and I'm cool with that. The stock shifter sat a bit too far for my tastes, and the truck has custom buckets with a removeable third middleseat. What about the shifter stick? Where can I get one?
The tranny mount looks almost identical to the stangs and the T5 tranny case is 24.7" whereas my 3 spd OD tranny is 24.2". Will I just need a new yoke? the driveshaft should be the same, no? Also, would the mustang 10" clutch bolt to an 86 era 302 164tooth flywheel?

The other hurdle is the hydraulic clutch. i prefer the cable driven setup from the mustang so can I just convert the truck to use this cable? it would mount the same as the mustang-at the firewall-I just need to figure how to mount the cable to the clutch pedal.

I've searched the forums and found some info but not exaclty what I need.
Can the T5 cable setup be used or should/can I still use the 3spd OD from my truck now?
Thanks for any and all help you can give!
