T-5 from a tc might be a bad idea on a 351w unless your building it for some old folks to get back and forth from the Senior center ( no offense Tom lol)

Seriously I think the 4cyl t-5's have trouble on a 302HO with just some bolt-ons

the pilot bearing  is a A203  it is a common alt bearing , there are several, just make sure the one you get is sealed on both sides.

what trans number are you running, ther should be a tag with the numbers on it...

check this chart...

depending on witch T5 you have from what year TC the torque rateings for them range from 235-240 ft/lbs

I know the T-5 conversion for a V-8 T-5 is the same as it is with a Mustang.  This is how I converted my '83 over to a T-5 back in '94.  The only think I did was find a TC steering column to get rid of the column shift selector.
