[QUOTE="amorrow, post: 9700732, member: 35869"] Replacement hoses are available at any Mustang warehouse (NPD, Glazier Nolan, Virginia Classic Mustang, CJ Pony Parts are some of the popular ones). I'm not aware of a kit, but I imagine you're looking for an upper radiator, lower radiator, PCV, and heater hoses - and they have versions that are nearly identical to what was original, right down to the FoMoCo logos where applicable. Auto to manual trans swaps are common, just searching vintage forums will provide you all the information you need. You also have options, as the 4-speed Toploader is always a sound trans choice, but there are relatively straightforward 5-speed overdrive swaps as well. And conversion parts are plentiful - both in new reproduction and used OEM. In fact, I have some of the bracketry you'll need if you plan to use a mechanical linkage, as I took new and restored parts off my '65 when I switched to a hydraulic clutch setup. Regarding forums, start with vintage-mustang.com (VMF) and stangnet.com. Good luck! The classics are a blast, both working on them and driving them. [/QUOTE]
