Default Re: t-5 confused which one?

Contact Cornhusker Rod and Custom in Nebraska. I got the whole ass'y kit from them. A little pricey until you realize the kit comes with everything you need to make the swap except the special clutch disk, and they have it. Well worth the price. Everything fit and worked flawlessly. No hassles at all. The only thing you will need to do is make a cutout in the adapter to clear the starter dust cover.
Be aware you must modify the rear cross member no matter what trans you use.

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.
