i am doing a 5.0 swap into my 92 with a 5 speed 4 cyl, and i was wondering if the t5 bellhousing from the 4 will work with the 5.0, i plan on using the trans to get it going until i can upgrade, and someone told me the bellhousing would work but i need to know for sure

Whoever told you that is dead wrong.

The 5.0L bolt pattern and the 4-cyl are completely different.
Not to mention that the starters are different also, the 4-cyl starter has 3 mounting bolts and the 5.0L has two.

Sorry dude, you need a bellhousing.

If you plan on using that trans. you will also need a special pilot bearing to adapt it to the 5.0L crank.

You can use a pilot bearing from an '85 Ranger 5 speed for your 4 banger T5.
