I stumbled onto this forum while googling for an answer to my conversion question. I am purchasing a 1962 Fairlane that has been converted to a 289 (5 bolt) % lugs and electronic ignition. The car has a 3 on the tree now and I want to convert it to a T5. I have already spoken to moderndriveline.com guys and they are supplying everything.
My question is who has done one on this early of a car and what mods did you have to do over and above the norm. I was told I would have to fab a crossmember and also may have to change the shifter position because of the bench seat. Any help is greatly appreciated. I dont pick up the car until May 23rd, I am just trying to get everything lined up so I dont have to wait to long driving the 3 speed. Thanks Ryan
