Oh boy, is it ever! Using the simple adapter plate Ol' Ron's talking about (he made one for me) and any T5 with a Ford bolt pattern and input shaft, you can...
• Use the stock flywheel
• Use the stock pressure plate
• Use the stock pilot bearing or bushing
• Use the stock throwout bearing
• Use the stock clutch linkage
• Adapt the stock rear mount (at least I did)
• Get a speedometer cable for $12 at AutoZone

All you have to buy are a clutch disk and a speedometer drive gear!
