The T5 fit is very good but be aware that different crossmembers are used for different conversions. Two ways to skin the same cat.
If you use the late model bell housing, then use the W-F or ModernDriveLine crossmember. This works for trannys installed vertically.
If you use the early bell housing (toploader) and adapter plate (CPC) then use the CPC crossmember. This works for trannys installed that can't towards the driver.
The C4 yoke fits but may be too worn for use with the T5. If the C4 yoke has wear grooves at the rear seal you can bet its too far gone for use with the t5 which uses Dexron-Mercon hydraulic fluid rather than gear oil. If worn, you're better off using a new yoke.
The shifter handle may be any performance shifter but if looks are important to you then nothing looks as classic as the look-a-like aftermarket shifter and early '65 chrome eschutcheon/boot. NPD carries these parts. The chrome escutcheon may be hard to get from time to time. The '66 will make do but doesn't compare with the early '65 for plain good looks. Depends on what you want...go or show.
Other stuff:
Clutches.
Early 157 bell housing and 10.5" clutch assembly (HiPo) works fine for up to 300 hp. '69-'73 351w (164 tooth, 11" clutch) works better for engines above 300 hp. Late model bell housing is best with cable clutch linkage and is a 157 tooth assembly. Early flywheels mount three-finger pressure plates. Late flywheels mount diaphragm pressure plates. Aftermarket flywheels often mount both types. As a general rule, if you use late model parts, stick with late model clutch parts. If you use early parts and an adapter plate, stick with early model parts.
