i dont think it would work it doesnt run a cable and your stang does it has a internal slave cylinder but you may can swap bell housings or something

GM and Ford have different Bell Housings. That trans also has a different Speedometer hookup.

All of the above is true, and able to be dealt with; however, they are not your biggest problem: The GM T56s have a different input shaft on the transmission. You also need a shorter driveshaft. You'll have to get a Cobra transmission. If you can't find one used, I highly recommend D&D Performance. I got all my stuff from them for the T56 on my 2002 Mustang GT.

check SVTP. there are lots of used T56's on there that will work for your car.

the GM t-56 is the weakest of all the T-56's

Will the cobra t-56 bolt right up?

You'll need the bellhousing, driveshaft, transmission crossmember, and you'll have to install a reverse lock out wiring harness.
