Yes , the car has it's original Dana 44 rear.

Nice Job Petew!!! 

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Hello can you please tell me what I will be needing for parts list for this conversion, I have the 57 bird with auto now, Looking for my pedal assembly not sure what else I will need exactly. What about speedo hook up?
Thanks,
Gary

You will need
A T-5 from a mustang 5.0 prior to 1994
An adapter from John Mummert , his website will tell you what specific year T-5 transmission will work
A manual transmission bellhousing for a Y block car not truck.
A pedal assembly from a 55-57 bird.
A Y block throw out bearing fork
The linkage that connects the clutch pedal to the throw out bearing fork
Y block manual transmission flywheel
Clutch , pressure plate and throw out bearing, all of which I bought from Mummert at a very reasonable price. Use a diaphragm style pressure plate lot less pedal pressure.
A T-5 , AOD or C4 yoke for the drive shaft
A new drive shaft, I used one from a mid year Corvette that worked fine , Just something I happened to have in the shop.
You will need to build a cap for the top of your tunnel where the shifter pokes through .
Speedo cable I used was from a 1957 Ford.
A 21 tooth speedo gear .
A 5.0 mustang transmission mount, some modification to the stock trans cross member , T-5 mount will require drop of about 3/4"
Those are the things I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh and don't forget to connect the wires from neutral switch or the car won't start. Some T-5's have a neutral safety switch some don't . Mine didn't so I just spliced mine together.

Will also need the plate for a manual shift vehicle that goes around the steering column. It allows the clutch pedal rod to pass thru the firewall.

As mentioned there are clutch rods, a "Z" bar and the pivot balls that attach to the frame and the engine block allowing the Z bar to rotate.
