I justy had my tranny go out and it wasnt even hard on it really, i want somthing that wont bust when you barly goose it Thanks guys.

You need to call Advance Adapters and they can tell you what it will cost and what it will include.

They are the only ones I know of that make an adapter to run the T5.

Your going to a T5 for strength??

Kinda yeah. I want somthing that can take at least a small beating, i didnt even hardly touch the gas when this what ever it is tranny broke, Its just went "SNAP CLUNK, GRIND"

Well I guess it depends on what your going to do with it I guess. I had a t5 in my mustang for years and I could hurt it, but it finally gave up. Not sure how much you want to spend but you can get "beefed" up t5's.

The only thing I gotta say, is make sure you get a T-5 WC World class version. They were behind the V-8's and are stronger. There was a standard T-5 behind either 4 or 6cylinder stangs I believe, weren't as strong, and I don't think they will work for the swap

T-5 conversion thread

Try this link to a thread I wrote about my conversion. It should help and if you need more info just email me. My has held up great and did not require any real drivetrain alterations.
