Well, for one thing, it's impossible to bolt a 5.0 T-5 into the 2.3. The input shaft wll not fit the pilot bearing due to it's larger diameter. A 2.3L T-5 will not fit correctly into a 5.0 engine due to having an input shaft that is smaller in diameter. I cannot remember about the input shaft length, but I'm thinking they may be different as well. The T-5 in the 2.3L is not world class, features weaker gears, syncros, and bearings.
