I'll get some pics tomorrow, but I'm using a T-5 from a 95 mustang in my 53 Suburban with a bench seat. I had to notch the seat frame and bottom spring and mane a 90 degree shifter, but it fits and shifts nicely. I went with the trans because it's as "World Class" version that has internal upgrades and is stronger. I made an adapter plate that is 1/2" thick and the input shaft length was perfect. I made an oilite bushing for the crank and used the stock

Flywheel and pressure plate with a clutch disk from a S-10 pickup. Still

Using the bell housing motor mounts and stock

Clutch pedal and linkage.

Do you have any photos of the adapter plate?

Adapter plates: Langdon @ $85.00 for a truck housing and $350 for a car housing. They also recommend a starter from them with exact matching gears. Maybe one can get that later after trying the OE starter.

Odd if you aren't changing the flywheel or the bellhousing why do you need a different starter????

[pflaming]

Maybe that I missread their information. Whatever, I am going to call them and find out the details.

Does Langdon now sell an adaptor for Mopar cars? Last I checked (two minutes ago) he did trucks only.

 Pflaming.  I believe these adapters that Langdon sells are for GM automatic transmissions.   Does he sell the T5 5 speed adaptors?  I know that Paul Curtis sells them for about $400 after shipping and taxes.

Langdon sells a T-5 adaptor for Mopar flathead trucks but not for cars

Paul Curtis sells these kits for the 5 speed..  unfortunately he only accepts money orders as payment..
