If you're going to go that far and do all that work, you might as well get a race slush box.

I have a Borg Warner T56 6-speed originally intended for a 4th gen. Camaro, as opposed to the later models made by Tremec. The only Mustang parts I have in my car are a 2003 8.8" Cobra IRS differential and a 2000 Cobra R 6-speed shift ****.

An adapter plate is the usual method of mating one manufacturer's transmission to another manufacturer's engine...

Tremec bought Borg-Warner. The t56 and world class T5s are made by Tremec. So Jim has basicly a Tremec tranny, which still is a Borg-Warner.
