Mating a Ford T5 to a 5.3L? Ok, Ive done some searching but haven't found the info Im looking for. Im trying to figure out what would need to be done to put a Ford T5 out of a Foxbody behind a 5.3L chevy engine? I found this bell housing(link below
) that if Im reading it correctly mates the two together and still allows you to use the Mustang cable style clutch. Also, is there any difference in spline count between the crank and tranny? Im just trying to find a way to put a T5(I have a Ford, but could use GM if need be) behind a 5.3 without having to mess with converting to a hydro throw out bearing. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks,

Its not that difficult with the right bellhousing. You will use a GM flywheel and pressure plate with the proper size clutch disc built with a Ford 10 spline hub in it.
