I've been studying the T-5 threads on HAMB and various Mustang sites and they say you can move the T-5 shifter forward several inches on the Mustang T-5 by using the tailhousing from 83-93 chevy S-10. They also say 90-95 Mustang V8 T-5's have a higher torque rating. The 94-95 has a bit longer input shaft which requires you to use the 94-95 bellhousing with it but the overall length is supposed to be the same.


Easy transfer on the trans tail shaft . If you seen the links from the H then you know of the speedo gear adaption you need to make . I did it to put it in the Model A , with the looks of the area in the 37 the original tail shaft may work from the WC T-5 which is the higher torque trans . The T-5 is a good street car trans but not for racing . Here is a pic where it ended up in the A with the S10 tail shaft . It is just in front of the seats by a few inches which is enough with the right shifter . If you want to know the exact measurement I can do that for you . I really think a stock T-5 will be just fine in the 37 with the eye ball room I see. . There is a lot of leg room in the 37 versus the 31 frame and body .
