hello  i woud be grateful if someone with experience tell me which borg warner t-5  world or non world class will be a direct bolt in.  right now im using a mustang 2 v8 bellhousing and v8 4 speed.  thanks in advance.  lyndensv8@yahoo.com

i used a mustang II bell,had to enlarge the the hole about a mm.works great

For the 2.3 (you didn't state which engine other than "V-8" ) most use the bell crank style.  Don''t even consider the 87-88 Turbo Coupe housing as it is hydraulic and not readily adaptable.

Reversing the crossmember and slotting the bolt holes will work (especially if you don't have welding capabilities).  See picture.

  Also included (picture) is a bracket I made to better position the clutch cable when used with the "bell crank" bellhousing. I did weld an anti rotate tab on incase the bolt came loose.  It bolts to the original hole and elevates the cable over the crossmember.  The arm on the bell crank need to be bent slightly outward.
