C3 to T5 85 XR7 turbo

Well I am finally getting around to swapping the C3 for a T5 in the turbo coug.


I have 2.3 bellhousing (svo), T5 from thunderchicken turbo, flywheel (svo), stock fox stang shifter and a fox 2.3 clutch cable.

I believe that I need a manual trans shift boot/plate, dog bone cable and driveshaft.

On the drive shaft which one do I need for the swap.

Shift boot/plate. What years of cars do I need to look for to make the install look factory.

Will the fox stang clutch cable and dog bone work correctly.

Any Tbird 5spd d/s will work.

The shifter plate would need to be 85-88

The SVO clutch cable set-up will work fine.
