Re: T-5 swap time
No clearance issues before the swap and none after. I had my drive shaft cut to 65" but yours may be different. I mounted the t5 like the original 3 speed n with no tail shaft support.

I measured mine and it is 62.5”, but that’s probably because I have a GM 14 bolt rear end. Hopefully getting the driveshaft this week. And, I will need to remove the center support, ran a string from one end to the other and it looks like it will be in the way.

Re: T-5 swap time
Yes - got the starter fixed, driveline installed, started it up on jack stands and went through the gears. All good so far. Ran out of time today, and I got a crap-load of meetings tomorrow, so probably won’t get it out of the garage till Saturday.
Also, purchased a 1x2 square tube so I could manufacture a support for the transmission. Hoping it drives awesome!

Re: T-5 swap time
Pretty sure it’s the stock bell housing for V8 and I6.
