I have a Borg Warner T-5 in my 78 King Cobra. With a few mods, it fits well.
I used the stock bell housing, flywheel and a new clutch. You do have to modify the crossmember to accept the longet tail shaft of the T-5 but no big deal.

It's my understanding that if you use the T-5 bell and trans, the C-4 automatic drive shaft drops in and maybe the cross member, BUT you loose the bellhousing/driveshaft tunnel clearing complicating the header install.

I have a T5 with a T5 bellhousing. Funny thing, when I bought the car it had the RAD4 with a T5 bellhousing. I had to flatten 2 of my Hooker Super Comp tubes to give the clutch fork room to move, and the cable rubbed one of the tubes. I broke 3 cables within 1.5 years. The shifter moved forward a little. The previous owner cut the shifter hole in the console a little bit longer when he put the T5 bellhousing in. The guy that did the T5 swap for me made a crossmember out of some angle iron, and the driveshaft had to be shortened an inch. When I put my 351 in, I will have some custom headers made which will take care of the clutch cable problem. I'll also probably have the fabrication shop make me a stronger crossmember. Also, the firewall was dented a little to make it easier to get to the top bellhousing-to-engine bolts, though I don't know if that had anything to do with the bellhousing, the previous owner probably just did that to make access easier.

Don't take this the wrong way, because I know everyone's trying
to help, but I've had my eye on this as a project for a while, and over
the last two years I think I've seen almost every year of T5 recomended
as the best. up until now I've been looking for a 90-93...
Has anyone acually compiled a list of the different year/model and
the pro & cons of each ?
