putting a t-56 in '92 fox body i'm thinking of putting an ls1 in a foxbody mustang i have, the thing is i already have a t-56 sitting in my garage and want to use that too.
what would be the easiest way to put that tranny in?
should i get a bellhousing, clutch , and throw out bearing of an lt1 setup and try to make it work with the clutch cable on the mustang? or should i just convert the whole clutch linkage into a hydraulic setup and reuse the clutch, bellhousing, and throwout bearing i already have??
or should i just stick to the t-5 ( or tko ) thats already on the car?
any input would be greatly appreciated!

A cable clutch setup would be the easiest, since there's not much room on the flimsy firewall of a Mustang to mount a clutch master cylinder. If you convert to manual brakes or possibly the Hydra-boost brake system, you could probably fit the master.
