Pretty sure there is no way around removing the stock center section as the T5 is longer and taller at the tail section than the stock 3spd. I did my '38 and it wasnt a big deal. I purchased the required plates from Chassis Engering but if I were to do it again I would make my own as they are really very simple. I built a mount into the botttom plate for the front wishbone and it worked well. You can also split the wishbone. Kits are great but its actually very simple stuff and you can save a lot of money by building your own parts. I love my T5. As I live out in a rural area I have to drive the highways to get anywere and that overdrive is great. Note that some T5's have better gear ratios than others and some rear end ratios are better than others with the T5.
