one more t5 qustion

Alright guys I may have found a sweet deal on a wc t5 problem is the wc use the Ford pattern. I know there are some adaptor bellhousings but does that still involve changing the input shaft? Thanks I'm getting ready to build a sweet 302 to put in front of it

Re: one more t5 qustion

Interesting question. Seems like I always see more F*rd T-5's than GM T-5's when looking at C-list or E-bay.

Instead of bell housing with an adapter or a custom bell housing, could you just use a steel bell housing like a Lakewood?

I guess the first measurement is to determine input shaft length/diameter & the length & diameter of the pilot bushing area.

Just guessing here, Anyone with trans or T-5 experience, please jump in.
