I'm going to help a buddy swap a complete engine and tranny out of his SN95 into a 88 gt that weare picking up today. Will it be a derect bolt in swap? Cause i know that when you install a fox tranny into a SN car you need a longer input shaft bell housing or a drive line spacer. peace

The T45 is 3/4 of an inch longer in the SN95. If I read what you posted correctly you have it backwards. I'm not sure how to fix that without changing the input shaft. Also, the pulleys and everything are different.
