When I put a T5 behind the 8BA in my '53 Victoria, the ONLY extra thing I had to buy was a simple adapter plate (made locally) and a different clutch disk.

I reused:
• The stock bellhousing
• The stock flywheel
• The stock pressure plate
• The stock pilot bearing
• The stock throwout bearing
• The stock clutch linkage (unmodified)
• The stock rear mount (modified a little)

The key is using a T5 with the right bolt pattern and the right input shaft.
