Tremec TKO 500/600 swap for Fox LS1 swap?
Does anybody know if the Ford & GM versions of the TKO are the same dimensions on the outside? Granted, the transmission is only a 5-speed, but if it fits a fox stang without as much problems as a T-56 would (I know Mystic had said he couldn't figure out a way to make the GM hydraulics work). I know there is a McLeod bellhousing for the TKO transmissions, but would it "line-up" correctly in the stock mounting location/console opening? This was just an idea , but I'm sure some of you guys already thought of this. Any info in regards to this would be appreciated!

Idea...........
One possible solution is to use the clutch master cylinder and pedal assembly from the mid to late 80's Ford tbird turbo coupe. This may require the use of the steering column mount plate as well. Then just adapt the hydraulic line to the T56. I hope this helps. I have researched this exstensively, there is no simple bolt in solution. Good Luck!!

EDIT: sorry, I was speaking of adapting one to an F-body
