No it will not fit.
Yes it is different. It has no torque arm mount, it is not rotated to match these cars' bell housing, the shifter mount is about 6" farther toward the front, the clutch gear splines are different, and the gear ratios suck since it's a 6-cylinder part not a V8 one.

Other than that, though, it's perfect!
Absolutely identical in every way, except completely different. Just like a Mustang one or something.

Got mine for $250 in need of a rebuild, and from what I understand that's a pretty good deal.
