What cars can I take a T5 from

Going to the junkyard today to pull a trans, just wondering which cars have a T5 that I can use?

Also, anything I should inspect in particular?

You would want one from a fox, 94+ have longer input shafts. I know early foxes like my 82 had a 5 speed option

One from a 4 cylinder will hold up as long as you dont try to powershift. I ran one my '89 gt for quite a long time, even pulled off an 8.14 in the 1/8th on some 245's will require a different pilot bearing though.
