how right u are old buddy! lol yeah im getting the adaptor plate and 2.3 patterned 5.0 flywheel. the plate offsets the longer input shaft length that the 5.0's have. i got this under control. im not looking to keep the stock t-5 5.0 for ever i just need to get it running at 450 and on the t-5 and then ill have trans-r-us build me a tranny for it.
but right now i just need a tranny to go easy on. and i dont want to spend 1100 on a 3550 right now. still needs tooooo much money in engine and head and paint and interior and fuel system ect.
lol
