what are you asking?

assuming an engine swap?

If so probably the harnesses, tranny, engine mounts etc.

T5 is a 5sp trans,

do some digging find out weather the input shaft has different splines, length ect, if i am not mystaken it should bolt up to a chevy bel housing no problem but that may be another thing you need to check

also tail shaft spline as you may have to make a hybrid yoke for the drive shaft if it's differnet

I would assume the bell housings would be different. If I may ask, why a T5? They have a pretty bad rap for being weak/unreliable.

i had one in my mustang only lasted for a hour after i did all the power upgrades as in wont handel abuse either if the engine is stock either. my sugestions is getting one from tremic of a trans shop that builds trans to suit high out put engins. me personally i went with a t56 from tremic yes it is a six speed manuel. i think the t5 is the minimum ok trans for the basic set up

With the t56 you will want to find one out of a LT car not a Ls car if you plan to bolt it behind a small block,

You can do a ls t56 but it will end up costing more becuase you'll need to get adapters to make it work

The lt T56 will bolt right into place the only thing I am not a fan of is the way the clutch is


The one your looking at doesn't have a clutch pedal? Go to the junkyard
