1964 D code 289 4 barrel carb engine. 1995 Mustang T5 transmission. Stock replacement clutch. Since the block is a 5 bolt block, it is using a California Pony Cars adapter, but the 1995 T5 is a longer input shaft than what the spacer is designed for, so we had to make some mods - we trimmed the bearing retainer and we had to make shims to get the proper spacing. A total of 1/4" spacing.

Funny, I’ve been writing to you on Facebook Modified roadsters. I do know the SN ‘94-‘95 T5 input shaft is approx 5/8” longer than fox body 79-93 T5. Bellhousing on those cars same amount deeper for this. Still waiting to get my ‘93 bellhousing back from tig welding mod.
