I thought I recalled a thread in the 2 section where someone was mating a BB to a SB bell/trans?

Not that I know of, @429MII is putting a 385-series big block in his car, unsure of what transmission he's using, but that's a different bellhousing than an FE big block.

A little Google-fu reveals a company called Wilcap that makes an adapter to put a T5 on a Toploader bellhousing, and that some guys on the H.A.M.B. have done it. http://www.wilcap.com/ford.html

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qti-rm-6056/make/ford QuickTime makes a T5 bellhousing for the 390, I'd imagine throwing a stock replacement flywheel and clutch set on it, along with a fox-body throwout bearing and clutch fork would have it all together and working, but I'm not sure what would need to be done for a crossmember, clutch cable, etc.

One of the guys in the classic Mustang forum might know more about this swap, especially since a '68 Cougar and '68 Mustang are mostly the same car.
