It takes any FE fork. Since they don't come with a pivot or never used to you need to take one from another bellhousing or buy a new one ,Mustang parts places carry them.

Be sure to index the register of the bellhousing to
the engine that you will be using. I've seen some
bad stuff happen from not doing it.
Dis-regard if you already know.

Yeah, should take any...

Clutch fork. I bought one off one of the guys on the forum and got the pivot from an online source (don't have my receipt file handy, so can't remember who). Dialing in the bellhousing was pretty tricky, so be sure to make adjustments a tiny bit at a time or you'll end up starting over. Also, my bellhousing didn't clear my beefy aftermarket starter. AND it didn't clear my headers. AND... we welded some bits on it to simplify the dial in and for our improvised clutch linkage. Keep in mind that if you want to take yours to the track, you'll have a hard time resolving those kinds of issues, since you can't grind or weld on the bellhousing and meet NHRA reqs (I ground and welded the bejesus out of mine). It was a real beast for my application, but at least I won't have any shrapnel in my foot. Plus I'm sure plenty of people had no trouble at all.

Sprayed with POR15 header paint (huge waste of money, since it doesn't stick).

Evan,
Mind if I copy your clutch fork boot? That is slick
