Sportin' a turbo 5.0 in Canadistan
thats next on my list... i bet i can beat the install time though 
well that may be because i will do it on a hoist lol. 5 hours is pretty good by yourself

5 hrs without a hoist and a cast from my foot to my knee (i had ankle surgery 3 weeks ago)plus making a run to the parts store..lol ensure you have exhaust flanges where you can remove exhaust from headers and before mufflers i had some flanges welded in before install so i could remove exhaust at mufflers....

Just make sure you resist the urge to bang on it durring the break in! It was really tough when i did mine because it had a C4 in it before i put the Tremec in, and it was killing me not to pound on the gears!

a friend bought it a year ago and sold the car he was going to install it into.so he was going to put it into his 66 stang project car,but in the mean time he tore the clutch out of his 01 mustang and didnt have the money to repair it so i offered him my t-5 (for him to install in his 66 project car) and $800 for the tranny and bellhousing and he accepted,which all of it was new and never installed. he spent right at $2000 a year ago thru mustangs unlimited for tranny and bellhousing. but for the good deal i recieved i did help him and a friend install his new clutch,pressure plate and flywheel free of charge...
