    Has any one converted to a T-5? I was wondering what crossmember would work. There is one for older Mustangs, but i don't know if they fit. Any information would help, thanks

    I'm actually considering the same swap. Dont know about the clutch linkage and shifter, but I think I got the crossmember part tackled. Looks like I will have to make a crossmember, but no big deal. Made 2 others for c4's (heavy duty--double hump to clear 3" exhaust, and 1 to fit a powerglide, had to clear the trans-brake solenoid.) Wonder how much floorboard bashing will have to be done?

    you can use the 70's bell housing, there is an adapter avalible to mount t-5 or there is a fulcrum spacer kit to use the late model bell with the maverick linkage. parts are avalible at www.cjponyparts.com
