I wasnt aware of this. How does the shifter line up properly?You can run a Fox tranny, you just need a driveshaft spacer. They aren't terribly expensive. It's actually quite a bit of work and parts.

Ill keep that in mind for my 5.0L Miata swap. I was looking for an SN95 T-5 so I wouldn’t have to cut the hotter hole up, but more clearance around the bell housing is a big thing in this swap. Id much rather have a little more clearance under there. I’m not running long tubes, but Ill still need it.It's between 5/8" and 3/4" forward depending on who you ask. From a driver's perspective, I guarantee you can't tell the difference. The brand of shifter you use is more important than the model input shaft you have on the transmission. The Pro 5.0 style shifter sits pretty far forward. I use a B&M Ripper which curves pretty far back to accomodate my shortcomings in height. Switching to a Fox transmission allows you to run Foxbody longtube headers, which fit way better than SN longtubes. It's a win win situation.
