I've been wanting to throw this out there, is there any reason why, allowing for some modification (input shaft etc.), a t-5 from a camaro wouldn't work. If not, what would need to be changed.
The junkyard pirates around here want 600$ for a core with 147,000 miles for a wc Mustang t-5.
A friend of mine and I are looking for a total of three units in the next year, He's already considered plunking down the 600$ the pirates are asking for and then rebuilding. For me, that's ridiculous.
Just for kicks I included the Wikipedia listing of all applications of the t-5.

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/349.shtml T-5 gearing, torque rating, code conversion, and junk yard candidates here.
http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/products/T-5.asp More general industry specs. I wonder if a non-Ford application could be economically made to work.
