Cool

The 4 cyl T-5 has a smaller diameter pilot shaft and a longer input shaft, and only has a 240 Ft/Lb rating. The input shaft can be swapped to a 5.0 version but still generally weaker like a early 5.0 non WC model.

The pedal assy and all the other stuff is fine for a T-5 swap. obviously the 2.3 bellhousing and cable setup wont interchange with a 5.0. The 2.3 cable comes out of the same place on the firewall, so just swap in a new 5.0 cable.
