    Ok, no matter what bs people tell u( no offense anyone) u can use a stock maverick v8/c4 trans crossmember. How do i know, ive done it! u have to use the c4 mount and crossmember, they bolt up to the t5 like it was meant to be. The trans tunnel on the other hand is a different story. it will take a little massaging and a cut off wheel to get room for the shifter and housing. if u have a 2 door, u can use a factory fox body drive shaft, not sure if years make a difference, but mine came from an 86 notch stang, u have to hunt down an oddball u-joint for the rear, but thats not that big of a deal, we found one at autozone they had in stock!

    good luck and have fun!!!:thumbs2:

    yeah, if u cut out the trans tunnel brace and a spot in the floor then u could prolly use the stock crossmember. personally, i didnt wanna take any of the bracing out of my car so i just made my own mount
