I'm pretty sure it can be forced to bolt up with the right combination of parts.I'm also pretty sure it would last less time than it takes to bolt it in.

The bellhousing won't work. I'm not completely clear on what exactly that T5 is.

Try the Transmission and Drivetrain forum, if you haven't already. I don't spend a lot of time there, but believe I've seen it discussed. The later V6 T5's are stronger than the 3rd gen T5's (after all, the 4th gen V6's put out as much power than 3rd gen V8's, right?), but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
