Yes, it is an aftermarket bought new, but some years ago. 2.95 first, and the .8 something o/d. I drove it for years behind the steel flywheel and put the aluminum one in when I redid the motor a year ago. I'm perfectly happy with it. Seattle has a lot of hills, my typical drive has 500 feet of elevation change in 10 miles, so maybe I just notice it more. Due to the cam, my motor likes 2500 as a minimum.
The links Noshortcuts posted is the real answer. I just wanted to point out the variety of ratios, and I missed torque ratings, that have been available over the years. Tire height, rear gears, and terrain effect both ends of the drivability.

5 speed conversions I've seen have the shifter coming out in the middle of the tunnel, so yes you have to cut a hole and fill the old one. The good part is replacement carpet is available for the conversion.

Th e z spec T% was not the only one avalable, the first 5T Trans that was in the V8 Mustang in 1984 and 5 was a 295 1st gear ratio. It it was before the World class series T5 and was not known for being vary strong! There are 4 cylander 5 speed transmissions with a 1st gear of around 4 to 1 the work quite well in a normal driving situation, of coarse they won't stand the abuse a properly modified V8 Transmission will take.

Go back to the previous page on this old post, and see the links posted by noshortcuts. They all still work, I just checked them. There’s also an a very long set of t5 articles on the HAMB. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/transmission-t5-tech-links.169265/
