EDIT EDIT: See below, I found a candidate for my tranny, it's from a '93 5.0 stang, but it's not world class.
EDIT: Just found this page

Parts/procedure checklist are good, but I am not keen on doing it myself, so I'm still wondering what kind of labor costs I'll be looking at?
M47 in my 245 is toast, I don't have the patience, facilities, or skill to fix it myself, so I'm thinking take it to a shop to have a T5 installed.
Parts to make trans fit:
Kaplhenke
--Adapter: $150
V-Performance
--Modifications to cable type clutch forks with dowel pins for use with Ford type release bearings - $20 --Required spacers for above - $20
--Ford release bearings - $60
--Special pilot bearings for use w/ the T5 from 5L Mustang $25
--T5 Slider Yoke - $65
--Clutch disc with splines to match the T5 - $140
Local:
Buy Trans -- Maybe this one
Machine Bellhousing - Cost?
Putting everything together - Cost?
Flywheel? Or can I use stock?
The car's making stock power right now. Right away, I'll install an A-Cam or similar. Will that be good enough to make a tall overdrive gear from a V8 car usable?
Eventually a mild +T
For choosing a T5, what should I look for? The ones from 2.3L cars seem to have gearing closer to my M47, but are only rated for 230-240 ft/lbs vs 265-300 ft/lbs.
Do they have to be from a mustang/t-bird or will they work from a camaro/s10?
