Modern driveline if you don't mind the price. You may score on Ebay or give it a couple of days and maybe someone on here will have what you need. You will need the Falcon parts.

If you can fabricate, weld a small piece of plate to the clutch pedal and bolt on a later day Mustang quadrant and use the Mustang cable. That is what I did.

Mike, Take a look at mustang steves site.mustangsteve.com If mustang stuff will work he has some conversion pieces that make it fairly simple, good parts and friendly on the phone.

Have you considereed a hydraulic clutch? I used the Mcleod clutch set up which all the stuff is internal to the bellhousing. A line comes from the hydraulic clutch out the clutch square hole to what I did: I used a Ford Ranger slave cylinder and adapted the fitting comming from the line to mate with the Rangers clutch. It is small and can be bolted to the firewall and the slave rod can be connected to the existing clutch pedal with the pin that you can remove from the Ranger pedal. A plate can be slightly bent to copnform to the firewall & then you can mount the cylinder to it. The small resovouir is mounted next and above the master cylinder. Take a look at a Ranger truck set up and go from there. It worked for me. Probably about the same price or less for my setup was my expense.

Re: 1964 ford falcon conversion

Where in Dbn? I used to have a 65 falcon wagon that I put a t5 in. You may have seen the car around, the new owner lives in Westland. I used the Modern Driveline cable and crossmember, and they worked great. Just be careful which headers you use, they dont all work.
