Will a Prothane 61604BL tranny mount for a 5.0 fit the 2.3 T-5? Also what might cause vibration going about 65mph, bad U joint or could it be the mount?

Thanks,
Dan

The 5.0 tranny mount will fit, yes.

As for the vibration, I don't know. I DO know that when my U-joints went out, they vibrated at like every RPM and you could definitely tell they were shot.

Red did you swap shafts or did you replace the U joints? Also what model of Aerostar drive shaft will fit the Stang?

i dont have any expierience with the Aerostar shafts, but i can tell you the FMS driveshaft is a good investment, Weighs like 1/3 what the old one weighs, and reallly soaks up vibrations and noise you didnt even know you had..

I just put in new U-joints, nobody makes a "drop in" driveshaft for the Thunderbirds.
