A few questions.........

I'm putting a T5 in my 86 and taking out the 700R4, my questions are....

Will my driveshaft work?
Will my crossmember work? From what I've read they should right?

Will my current speedometer cable work?
What about my torque arm and torque arm bracket?
And is the tranny mount the same?
Is the ECM a big deal?

Please help, send a pm or submit a response. Thanks
