T-5 to 352?

I have a 65 F-100 with a 352 and a 3OT, 3.03 trans. It's a good transmission but the column shifter seems to be not meant to be. I haven't found a good shift tube and other setbacks have kept my column on the bench and my truck off the road. I have a nice T-5 5-speed overdrive trans that I got for another project, that is on hold. It cam,e out of a 92? Mustang Fox body along with the 5.0 and everything else that I could unbolt. It has a bolt-on bell, does anyone have or make a bell for 352 to T5 or an adapter plate? Much thanks. Dan

Probably an adaptor, under $200 last I looked.

Someone here had a T5 behind a 351W, maybe in a Mustang. He beat on it and it lived.

If you drive it easy, you'll be ok.

Do check the OD and reverse ratios. If you already have tall gears, OD won't get much use and you'll hate reverse.

I've got 3.50-1 in the diff, and 31X10.5X15 tires. What way will I hate reverse, and what gears do I want?
