I first started on my install about four or five years ago. At the time I was unaware of other options, ( hydraulic, cable, bellhousings and trannys ), that were out there to work with. I was given a T - 5 that I was told came out of a Mustang converted to a Mini Stock race car by a driver from a local circle track that needed four speeds.
When I got it home, the bellhousing Lo & Behold, fit my 2.0, well almost. So that's where all of the work mentioned above came from.
Now I used a stock auto tranny mount from a 75 Sedan and elongated the holes as mentioned above, and it fit just right. If that were not enough, the drive shaft from the same vehicle also fit, stem to stern, as it were made for the application, 2.0, T - 5, and an eight inch rear.
At this point I was quite pleased with myself until I tried the clutch cable. Not only did it hit the crossmember, but it was a tad short. I took the cable to a local marina and they added a few inches to the cable. I also purchased a longer throwout bearing from Walsh I think. It made the cable adjustment easier.
Anyway, here's what i came up with for my bell mod.
