Automatic/Manual svap?

Hi guys

I´ve got an opportunity to buy an ´86 Mustang GT with a 302 and a T5 manual gearbox for a small amount of money.

I´m wondering if it would be a good idea to swap the T5 into my ´71 coupe? (since the C4 auto is dead and out from under the thing)

And would the bellhousing fit onto the 351 Cleveland I have in the ´71?

What do you guys think?

T5 trannys have a tough time staying together with a hoped up 302, If you plan on any performanceupgrades on the cleveland I dont think it will be durable enough.

It will depend on the cars use, racing or a lead foot will be hard to keep it together.
