Getting a TKO 500 swap for my 86 GT. FINALLY getting rid of the T5. Just a few questions...

Here is what I have:
Bell housing (special for tremec to small block ford)
Steeda shifter
26 spline clutch (spec stage 3)
Driveshaft yoke
Extended crossmember
Clutch fork

Questions:
Where can I get a clutch alignment tool? Go to autozone and say I have a 99 mustang or something?
Are the speedo gears and reverse light switch the same? Will it go right in?
Driveshaft length the same?
What about the throwout, pilot bearing and clutch cable?

Am I missing anything else? TIA

You can use a regular 10 spline alignment tool, it will work just fine.

Everything else is the same as a T5 and will all plug right in.
