My brother inlaw has an 87 turbo coupe with a t5 and the tranny is in good shape and I can get it for free, I want to use it to do a 5 speed swap until i'm able to afford a tremec....will this work and if so what mods do I need for the tranny to bolt in such as a bellhousing or something.

well first off u will have to use a foxbody specific bellhousing as the 94-95 stangs have a longer input shaft and therefore need a longer bellhousing. u will probably want to use some sort of driveshaft spacer as well, as u will not get full driveshaft engagement with the transmission moved forward like it is. a friend of mine did this same thing, and has ha dno problems yet, but u will also need to move ur crossmember slightly forward or make some kind of bracket for the mount.
