is an 87 camaro t5 compatible with a fox 5.0? I realize bellhousings are different, but that can be changed pretty easy

Nope. Shifter's in a different location.

On second thought, you COULD, I suppose, change out the tailshaft with one from a Mustang to get the shifter in the right spot. But really, after swapping bellhousings and tailshafts and whatever else ... might as well just be looking for a Mustang T5 at that point, anyhow.

You'd need to swap the shift rail and mainshaft too....and more are non-WC as well

The input shaft would need to be changed also.
