    Hello i want to install a T5 transmission to my 71 Comet. Does anyone know if there's a vendor or a person out there who sells a crossmember for this type of application so i can install this 5 speed?

    Thank you, i appreciate you're input and knowledge in advance.

    I used Frank's kit - it worked great ........ :thumbs2:

    Just so you are aware, you will need access to a good welder to assemble it. It is a custom fit to your car and however you set your pinion angle.
