    I wanna hear some advice from people that have done it.

    Having a 69.5 means having a smaller tunnel which is why i always end up not considering it and i only consider it because of highway cruising i dont wanna be killing the engine wich will be a 408w at 65mph im going with 3.73's in the back

    i did a t5 swap on jear30200's 69.5. the smaller tunnel was no issue. you have to clearance the rib that goes over the top of the trans where the trans mount is. thats normal on any maverick. i highly recommend doing the t5 conversion.
