GM and Ford have different Bell Housings. That trans also has a different Speedometer hookup.

All of the above is true, and able to be dealt with; however, they are not your biggest problem: The GM T56s have a different input shaft on the transmission. You also need a shorter driveshaft. You'll have to get a Cobra transmission. If you can't find one used, I highly recommend D&D Performance. I got all my stuff from them for the T56 on my 2002 Mustang GT.

You'll need the bellhousing, driveshaft, transmission crossmember, and you'll have to install a reverse lock out wiring harness.
