hmmm, I want to say they were the same, as the older 3.8 mustangs came with c4's, and the sn95 3.8's had t5's. I can't swear on that though, but I think they are.

This is in a 1986 3.8 car so you should be the man in this case. You say the stock trany is a c4?

3.8 & 4.2 V6's are basically Windsor blocks, so the bolt patterns are the same as 302/351W

3.8 FWD car is different. 3.8 RWD for sure and the 4.2 is the same too I think.
