I have a 37 ford pickup with an 8BA V8 that I would like to put a 89 mazda pickup 2wd T5 in. What is the best and most complete kit and where do I find it. Thanks for the help guys. Up here in mid Maine area resources are limited. jhljr44#yahoo.com

I would start by talking to Cornhuskers.

It also wouldn't hurt to read this thread on the topic of T5 conversions.

Using the passenger bell housing will allow you to use the stock clutch linkage wand an inexpensive adapter to bolt the trans to the engine. Unfortunately, the trans nust be converted to a closed driveshaft, or an open drive rear axle assy must be installed. Also some modifications must be made to the X member.
