ok i if I buy a 1965-69 stang with a 289 is it possible to match a t-5 up to it? and how hard would it be to put a newer 5.0 a matching t-5 and a costume drive shaft and rearend in too it? i mean i kno it would be alot of work but i dont think it would be overly hard. 64 im looking for you input. thanks for the help
