hey im buildin up my 91 and puttin a 350 in wit a lil extra power. n i no chevy t5s blow big time and i kno the ford t5s hold up alot better. does any1 no if the ford t5 would work. i kno theres gana be some modifying but llike what.
I hate to tell you to do a search, but I've seen this discussed at length more than once in the last year. Long story short: give it up. You'll spend more to do the swap than it takes to just get the correct T5.
Just to add to what Jamie said, the Ford T5's aren't any better/stronger than the GM ones anyway. The only reason they hold up longer in the Mustangs is it's a lighter car and the Ford 5.0's don't have as much torque as the Chev 305/350.

Along with every thing else every one else said, the Ford t-5 has a different bellhousing to trans. bolt pattern so you cant bolt a chevy bellhousing to a ford trans. as well as the tailshaft is different. Their is nowhere for the torque arm and the shifter is to far forward.
