Has anyone ever swapped a Tremec TKO tranny into their SC before? I've got one from my Mustang that I'm thinking about putting into my T-Bird. My main question is driveshaft length, is the stock driveshaft the same length or will I have to lenghten/shorten it to fit. Also, is the bellhousing bolt pattern the same as a windsor motor? How about flywheel size and tooth count? Thanks guys.

Someone on TCCoA swapped a Tremec 3550 into his 5.0 LX. He used an L shaped handle to put the shifter back.

The Driveshaft is not the same length. It's 56.5" from center to center. I know because I have it in my garage.

The 3.8 Bellhousing is the same pattern as the 5.0/351.
