I know there are huge differences internally between the 2 transmissions, but does anyone make an adapter for the TKO 5 speed? And if not, why not? Is it just that the need has not been there? With the HP and torque we are getting out of some of our Y Block builds, it's likely a Mustang T-5 wouldn't hold up. What are the major issues in mounting behind a Y-Block regarding bolt pattern and rear trans cross member?

Thanks for that info Ted. Is the flywheel and starter for like a 351W? Would the bolt pattern to the crank be the same? I am also wondering about the rear trans mount. My car is set up to run a T-5 using a Speedway Motors 6" drop tubular tranny mount and I was wondering how different the mount locations between the two tranny's are.
