I have not looked into those other 2 trans, but may have to. What are the clearance and vibration issues i've heard about the T5 swap into a 65 all about?
Never herd or see either. Just has to be a fox body mustang bell and fox body t5. The sn95 94 plus mustang t5 is a bit longer so you have issues if you use that trans.

T5 will not have vibrations if done right. TKO and T56 (6 speed) most likely will lead into modification of trans tunnel or changing of engine mounts. Also some people think t56 makes the shift point too close together (too many gears). I never heard of too many gears fromthe days I rode a 10 speed bike lol. But I did not want to modify trans tunnel so I am going with t5 swap

Will a 6cyl bellhousing work on a 8cyl? Also is a Toploader 4spd from a 6cyl car capable of holding 8cyl power?

What you looking to pay? I know a guy on the boarder of south Dakota and Minnesota. He's got alot of mustang stuff and deals in it for a living few hundred mustangs and buildings full of parts. Im sure he could set you up with a full set up. When i was looking few years ago to do a toploader in my 67 with 390 think he wanted 1200 for the full set with everything needed. Idk what prices are now but if you looking for everything from one place and a guy that knows his stuff sure he could set you up.

Thanks JP1967stang. Sounds like a little more than I would like to pay, but if you would like to message me, i'll check it out. I think I seen your guys site after talking with another mustang guy. He was trying to buy his car to restore and sell.

So will the 6cyl bellhousing work on an 8cyl? And thank you again.
