I have a 96 mustang with a 3.8, I am doin a engine swap to give it some more power! I am switching it over to an 88 mustang 5.0 engine that I am rebuilding and I am gong carb. just to keep things simple. I Believe I can use the same transmission becuase it is a world class t5 and has the longer Input shaft to accomidate the longer body on on the sn95 model. BUT I need to know what i can do about a bellhousing and also what about a clutch and flywheel? I tryed to look for a used 94-95 gt bellhousing but I cant seem to find one. If ANYONE can help I would be very greatful!
Thanks

You should check the other thread you started on this subject. If you don't get a satisfactory answer, "bump" the thread a few times (once or twice) until someone else answers it. Not everyone comes here, everyday.

Good luck!
