RE: FE in a Fox Mustang

I had a 289k motor with a big block toploader in a 1975
Mach 1 with the same problem.
I used a throw out arm from a chevy vega with a pivot
on the opposite side from the cable, modified the arm to accept the right throw out bearing, and it worked.
But it did not work very well. After years of frustration,
I ended up replacing the trans with a late model V-8
trans that also worked off a cable. It now worked
great.
With the f.e. motor, I don't think you'll be happy unless you do it right by somehow modifying the car to accept the bellcrank and use the trans as it was meant to be used - push the throw out arm, not pull it.
It might cost you more money, but nothing is worse that a clutch that doesn't work right.
