I've got a set of long tubes, and I'm going to be going with a T-5 but keeping the stock linkage. Is there going to be any clearance issues?
Thanks,
Luke

Depends on which headers you have, some will work, some won't.

Luke,
If you have headers made specifically for your year of car, and you are retaining the stock linkage and bellhousing, there should be no issues with clearance. The T-5 is basically the same external size as the Toploader. The rear tranny crossmember wil have to be modified or replaced, along with driveshaft length.
