Manual swap choices

[M91]

The Magnum XL is only hydraulic I believe. I originally tried using the tiny stock GT500 master cylinder. After going thru five of them in what should have been a perfect set up I redesigned the whole set up to something so much more simplistic using Tick Performance’s 98-02 F body master.

I mounted it directly under the brake booster, almost touching it’s so close. I also shaved the angled part of the firewall mount to create twice the angle it came with and I had to cut the adjustment rod down about an inch but that will depend on your pedals. As for attaching the rod to the pedal I simply used a 3/8” stainless bolt and whatever spacers needed to get it lined up perfect and drilled a hole about half way up the pedal.

To use this you will also need the GM to Ford hydraulic adaptor. As for the fluid reservoir, I was originally using a cheap Wilwood one but ended up just drilling and taping the brake reservoir and sharing that with both to tidy up the engine bay. That’s all they do on the Mustangs.

Yeah I've seen this on your thread but I thought maybe I can go a different route like just take the pedal assembly along with sleeve and master cylinder from a gt500, Will it work? Am afraid that it will break down like what happenend with you but maybe it won't if I got the whole assembly, or you think I better go with your method? The pedal assembly I've got now is from a 94 mustang GT or 96 I can't remember, someone gave it to me a while back he didn't need it

Hello
Am working on a cobra swap and I already have the engine and luckely it has a 2.3 Whipple on it )

And now am curious what transmission do I go with, no way am keeping the automatic in it
I've got Couple of options but not much of a knowledge in swapping it.
Tr-6060/ I've seen Bob's full thread on it and I couldn't find it cheap it's so expensive.

T56/ less expensive than the tr6060 but I've no idea how I fit it in the Marauder or where the shifter position in the cabin will be.

T56 magnum xl / this is the cheapest one I've found and the most desirable to me do to the high tourqe rating and the low price I found because it's lightly used, and also I have no idea if it will fit or not or maybe I won't be able to get the shifter to be in the correct position in the cabin because the shifter sits far back in the transmission.

If anyone can help me out please? Any information about swapping the t56 and the t56 magnum xl to the Marauder?? Or anything regarding the shifter fitment in the cabin? And what driveshaft to use? That would be awesome.

I swapped a Tremec T56 into a 1991 Mustang equipped with a supercharged 351 Windsor. While a completely different car from a Marauder (we have a 2003 Marauder in the family so I'm familiar with the car), I think this would be an awesome swap. I bought my Tremec from D&D Transmissions in Wixom, Michigan. Their advice on mounting, driveshaft configuration and length was perfect. Talk with Don at D&D. They will tell you what you need and probably can put together a complete conversion kit for you. You should see a picture of the Tremec equipped "91 Mustang in my post. Good Luck!!! Keep us posted!!

There is no possible way to simply swap in a Mustang pedal assembly. If it were then I’d imagine there would be at least 100 more conversions out there. You must adapt a pedal to the Marauder brake assembly.

You seriously need really good fabrication skills and a wild imagination. Everything will fall right into place if done right.

Not completely true, we put the cobra pedals in, while it did require some creative fab work and both pedal sets it’s definitely doable.

Yeah I got no problem with Fab work am good at it, the only thing I lack is (electricity) I can do anything in the car except electricity lol

Yeah I'll try my best and basically you and Bob's instructions are good enough, and I'll contact d&d and see if there's any further information I should know about.

Yeah mine is from a Fox body, but with a ton of fab work.

Did you use the cobra pedal box or the panther pedal box? The Pier pedals put mustang pedals on a panther pedal box.

We cut the mounting bracket from the marauder and fit it to the cobra set, we didn’t know anything about Piers sets but to do it again i think we will just contact Pier Luc
