Hello all. I'm going to be swapping a T5 into my 55 Customline soon. I have a fresh T5 from a 93 mustang and I ordered the Y block to T5 adapter from John Mummert's site. I know i'll have to have a new driveshaft made, and i'll need a different clutch disc. My questions are, what transmission mount have y'all used, and what are y'all doing to make the speedometer work? I did a search here and i didnt turn up any info on this. Frankly I have a little trouble with the search function on this site. I'm not the most computer saavy. Maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure i'm not the first person here to do this. Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
