Default bellhousing

yeah my u joint broke bad luck, i had it on the lift and had it apart and realized that advanced auto gave me the wrong u joint at a look they looked the same but they were just a little to big so i put the old ones back in and drove easy to the parts store when the front one broke i am pretty sure thats what did it, the crack starts about 2" above the starter and runs at an upward angle towards the back, my plan not sure i just spent all my mustang money on a 5 lug conversion and a new rearend still in the process of doing all that after work, i am tempted to get a tko600 i have always wanted one bc i have a 351 block waiting to be built and i will need a better gearbox not that the t-5 is bad but mine is on its way out. i really do not want to go through all the work of taking the tranny out to replace the bellhousing just to take it out again in a few months when i save the $ for the tko, i am leaning towards getting it welded but have time to think as my conversion is goin slow my pin in my 8.8 is giving me hell, i cannot get that thing out!
