It should fit, the svo tranz are schweet!! The first time you go from 4th to 5th your like WTF!!! it feels like an extension of 4th, with 3:45 gears, it will be around 3.2K at 70.

The input shaft is smaller....You need to get a bushing that adapts the smaller input shaft to the 5.0 size.
SVO trans - tag id 13-52-116. It is basic 4 cylinder trans with some different gear ratios. It has a small input shaft and a 250 ft/lb torque rating
1'st = 3.50
2'nd = 2.14
3'rd = 1.39
4'th = 1.00
5'th = .78
As you can see, the gear ratio spreads are greater than a 5.0 trans. That means more RPM drop between gears. The engine has to work harder to get back up to the RPM range where it pulls strong.
Save your money for a real 5.0 T5 or a Tremec 3550/TKO.
I wouldn't bother. With all of the T-5's floating around out ther, why waste your time with an inferior transmission that would cost you as much or more to run.
Personally, I'd suck it up and spring for a rebuilt T-5 from a company like D&D Performance if I were you. For $999, you'll get the hardened 3.35 Super Alloy gear set, carbon fiber blockers, steel bearing retainer on top of a transmission you'll know to be top notch and handle the torque. Not to mention you get a warranty.
Nickel and dimeing your way through a few items is fine, but generally a good working transmission isn't that type of item. You get what you pay for.
