No, it won't be a direct swap for you. There are a few differences.

You need to use the fox bellhousing, but I don't know if you need to change anything else. You could swap the input shaft from a 94-95 T-5 to the 88 and use the newer bellhousing.

And remember that the early fox T5 is rated for less power than a later model trans.

Be sure to swap the input shaft bearing retainer (I would have thought you would have to do something for the input shaft anyhow, since the fox's is shorter. Maybe a bell swap takes care of that).

Good luck.

in all honesty, unless you'd be gettin this tranny for DIRT cheap, then its not worth it to try and put the fox tranny in there....its just too much work.....just keep looking around the junkyards, and on corral and such sites, and see if you can score a deal on a 94-95 t-5.........just my .02........
