Welcome to the best place around.  But man, is this ever weird.  I am putting our 66 Mustang back together after metal, paint, and whole raft of other mods.  And, I have pretty much talked myself out of moving on to the next project when the Mustang is finished.  You see, I have 3.5 '67 Fairlaine two-door hardtops and a truck load of mechnical parts I've been gathering for the build.

My plan was a strong 302 or 331 (new block in hand) with a T5 (TZ, 5.0 bell housing, King Cobra clultch, Mustang Steve cable clutch kit, all in hand) and to use the  08 Mustang GT 12.5" brakes (in hand), and a 96 Exploder disc brake axle w/3.73 LS (also in hand).

To use the MS cable clutch setup you will need to hammer or cut/weld a bit of a trough in the cowl air box floor for sector clearance.  That should be pretty easy on the Fairlane as the top of the cowl can be removed.  Since it's already is set up for a SBF, putting your 306/T5 in is a no-brainer.  You will need  a special rear cross member (trans mount) and my have to fab that for the Fairlane if one isn't commercially available, but it ain't rocket science. 

As for the brakes, the kit that MS sells requires the use of stock Mustang drum brake hubs.  Guess what?  The Fairlane drum hubs are the same as the Mustang's.  In fact I just robbed a set from one of my Fairlanes to install the 08 GT brakes on our Mustang.  NO PROBLEM.  I don't know about other kits but I'll bet they will bolt on just like on a Mustang.  Or, you can go with stock type KH discs in front.  They are avalable from SS brake and others.  In fact I expect to have a set on the Swap Meet page before long.

As for addinng the a power brake booster if you don't have one, Steves modification should work just fine on the F-lane pedal assembly.   And, I think his mod and booster is pretty much the only one that will work with the cable clutch.

So in answer to your question....yep, from what little I've  learned while getting ready to do my Fairlane, most of he stuff can be made to work without too much trouble.

Now, your will probably post pix of your car and I'll have to re-convince myself that I'm going to sell the project.  You don't happen to need 3.5 more bodies do you.

Again, welcome to the forum.  As I said, this is the best around.  If you're not doing anything from Sept. 24 -28 or so, join us in Vandalia, Ill for the annual bash.  Load of fun.

Go to the small print just below the logo and click to Mustang Steve's website.  You'll find a ton of info there.  Contact Steve directly for info on making his stuff work on the Fairlane, but I'm pretty sure most of it is gonna be bolt on.  Be sure to find out if the bolt pattern on the F-lane spindles is the same as the early Mustang.  I believe it is but I'm not positive...and that's something you need to know.

Check with Steve and for the defintive answers.

Bullet Bob, from what i can dig up im told i think were good to go on and start ordering, from what info i have it dosent seam like a ton of hard work,  i should be able to get the power booster clutch peadl assembly disc brake conversion all on here? im ready to order!!!

That's  great.  Always good to do the homework first but I was pretty sure it would all go together witout much trouble. Keep us informed as the project moves along.  I'll have to build "my" Fairlane vicariously through you, I guess.  Looks like my 3.5 Fairlanes are going to get sold.

Good luck,
