Tony-
As I wrote in a recent post to the list, A T5 will fit with the correct tail
section or output shaft housing (refer to Tom Hall's tech tip c/o STOA). A
Tremec might be kind of stout for a 260 and they don't shift as lightly as the
T5. The question might be: What bellhousing is out there that has a 5-bolt
pattern and will accomodate either trans? Clutch throwout is no problem as
there are (McLeod, Tilton) hydraulic throwout bearing assemblies available.
They are kind of pricy, but when set up right are sweet. One idea would be to
look into some of the Mustang providers,as the T5/early model swap has become
quite popular.
