Whoever told you that... kick them in the *****. It not fit without an adapter, and the T5 is made by Borg Warner, not Ford.

See here for the conversion:

the Rx7 doesn't have a t5, although some Fords use a Mazda transmission…

i figured it wasnt true....i was in a little rush when i posted this, i forgot to add that they mentioned the fc trans is what is in the ford rangers with the 2.3 motor . oh well if it was true i figured save some money on a 302 conversion.
thanks guys

the 94+ manual transmission rangers do use a Mazda transmission, however its a P type, which is completely different than the R type that is used in the rotary cars
