Thanks for the information Pete . That is a huge help, will check out the carpet supply as well.
Thanks again,Gary

I believe the T-5 comes in generally two flavors regarding the overdrive 5th gear ratio . One in the 20% reduction range and the rest in the 30% reduction range, mine is the 30% reduction range. My rear gear ratio is in the 3.30's , 3.36 if memory serves correctly.
Rpm's on the highway are greatly reduced with the 5 speed when compared to the stock Fordomatic with 70mph coming in right around 2000 rpm's.
I willl say one of the biggest improvements is the fact that swapping from the Fordomatic to the T-5 5 speed shed about 150 pounds off of the front end. The car steers and stops much better now.
The carpet is from ACC (auto custom carpet) , you can order any little bird carpet from them without a hole in it by selecting the "column shift" option. I know the car was never offered like that but their carpet is .

Custom carpet?

Hello Pete,
Getting closer, would you happen to know the ratio on your T5? Are you happy with rpm in 5th? I also am keeping stock rear ratio.
