Default T-5 Here I Come!!!

Just got off the phone with a guy from a local mustang forum.

Tomorrow night I'm heading into town and picking up a T-5 from a 91 mustang everything from the blockplate/flywheel back for $450.

The car only had 90k and was running great when he pulled the motor and tranny.

I'm pumped!!!

AHHHHHHHH!!!

Great catch. Everything there makes a big difference. Now comes the questions:
- What to do about flywheel
- What clutch to use
- How to mount rear crossmember
- cable or hydraulic clutch
- driveshaft length
- Shifter selection/install

What engine do you have? The flywheel you're getting is a 50 oz. imbalance if it is original to the '90 and if you have an early model, it is likely a 28 oz. Make sure to use the correct one for your application.

I ended up not getting the flywheel or block plate.

I'm buying a flywheel of ebay.

Using Cable Clutch.

Buying a used crossmember for a 64-66 with a T5.

Buy the block plate from a local shop.

I'll use the stock shifter for now and if its too short (I'm 6'4" though) I'll buy one that is more correct.
