well I am in talks with a local speed shop, bad ass speed in jacksonville, Fl, and I will be stopping in monday to talk with one of their fabricators about either using a 1/2" aluminium plate between the 833 bell and the stang T5, or cutting the 833 shorter and welding the 1/2" plate directly to the bell. They have manual machine from what I saw, which is my specialty lol (I took almost 2yrs of machining classes at the local votech on all manual machines, and worked at a ship yard machine shop for almost 3 yrs :) ) So I am just gaging interest to see if anyone would want and if the price is right, be willing to buy in to a group run of direct fit T5 swap bell's, I personally have 2 bells and am willing to guinea pig this, but I need to know if there is any interest,

These have already been done by Lou Madsen (I think) a few years ago as a group buy. He may be able to give you some info on it. I have one in my garage right now.

There are some of the ~ 20 I did 8 yrs ago still floating around. You might post in the "Parts Wanted" section?

Best,

Lou
