Jeffery-

Lots of us have been doing just that thing for years, stuffing the lot into a
MGB. The only caveat is that the bell housing must be for a 4 speed or 3/4
speed combination bell housing from either a Buick or Olds 215.

Beware, there is more than 1 T-5. There is a V-6 version, a GM Chevy/Firebird,
& a Ford Mustang version. All have shifters in different locations, & the Ford
is not a "bolt up".
