Look here at the WIKI info if it is post '64 6 bolt pattern your good to go. List of Ford bellhousing patterns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<TABLE class=multicol style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; WIDTH: 100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top align=left width="50%">[edit] Early Windsor V8 pattern
Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's.
You will need an adapter for the t-5 and I think for the t-56 also. I am unsure if they are the same pattern...
Ford 240 6 Cylinder with a 5-speed? - THE H.A.M.B.
Match a clutch with the correct diameter and spline and you should be good to go. You may also have to visit the clutch linkage. There are after market master/slave hydro's that would hook ya up. I think the easiest way to approuch the linkage would be to use a t-5/t-56 bell housing.
Did I forget anything?

T5 input is too long for standard 300 bell. You need an adaptor or the input machined.
These guys have the parts, can help:
Modern Driveline - Classic Mustang Small Block T5 conversion parts kit 1965-1973
I looked into this for my '85, but never moved on it.
OD is pretty tall, so you can run a little lower gear if you'd like, which will make life easier on hills, in town etc.

28" tires
2.90 gears
85 mph
=
2011 rpm
Spot on.
Driving 60 mph on the highway will get you dog cussed pretty good down here in Texas. I don't even shift to OD until she breaks 70.
Seriously though, what sort of project are we talking about? Cruiser? Hot rod?
Work backwards from your desired rpm at cruising speed once you figure out the tires and tranny to select the R&P.
