You can do it yes. Im not sure how, im not that mechanically inclined but I know its possible. I took the longblock from a 95 and carbed that. So yup. Good luck.

for the T5 you will need the complete T5, bell included, pedals, correct T5 crossmember and a way to activate the clutch (hydraulic or cable operated). you will need to open up the shifter area up just a little.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

You'll need a set of brackets/mounts for the engine and a custom trans crossmember. Tri-Y headers for clearance around the clutch fork. If you're sticking with EFI, either swap an entire harness or use a aftermarket custom swap.

I put a '93 efi engine and T5 in my '65 w/ a carburetor. Very easy swap. I used the cable clutch for convenience. Let me know if you need any specifics.

For the engine, you'll need a front sump oil pan and pickup (a 5.0 out of a fox is a rear sump) and either drill a hole in the timing cover for the dipstick tube or you may need to swap the cover out for one with a fuel pump mount if you plan on running a mechanical fuel pump and carb.

If the car has a v8 in it already a lot of the stuff will transfer over from the old engine but you will need to get a new tranny crossmember and a fulcrom adaptor if you want to use the stock clutch setup with the t5 bellhousing. You'll need a new driveshaft too.

If you have a 6 in there right now, plan on doing front suspension work and changing the read end out.
