Ford t5 to 5.3 (i know beaten to death topic)
sooo foxbody ford WC T5 to 5.3l from what i gather heres what i need
late 80's astro van 4.3l bellhousing (will it work with clutch cable???)
stock ls1 flywheel and pressure plate
2000 mustang GT clutch disc
LS7 pilot bearing drilled to fit ford input shaft
here are my concerns
-ford input shaft is longer than the chevy t5 (i think)
-will the astro t5 bell bolt up to the ford t5 and work with the ford fork and cable

bump i to am doing this swap soon. ill be using the quick time bellhousing as its ment for this swap. how would you drill out the ls7 BEARING? unless its infact a bushing? i was wondering if there was an off the shelf bearing that would swap in and the ford t5 would work with it. also what cars had an 11" pressure plate / 11" disc? because some mustangs had and 11" disc with the 10 spline input shaft.

I'm also going to be using a t5 in my application, I was told that Lakewood Part #15975 T-5 to Chevy adapter Pilot Bearing can be used in this application with the rm-6037 bellhousing. I still need to call quicktime to verify this though.
