cant get car to start.

If you switched out to a T-5, then I would suggest trying the wiring for the neutral safety switch. When you pulled the trans out did you bypass the neutral safety switch wires, or install the clutch safety switch?

On 5 speed cars there is a safety feature that you have to have the clutch depressed before it will start. On automatics there is a switch known as the neutral safety switch, it senses when the transmission is in neutral or park and will only let it start when it is in those positions.

I feel there is problems with the wiring for the neutral safety switch. When this doesn't work I don't think that fuel even pumps, because it doesn't power up the EEC relay.

I hope this helps.
