    Almost certainly, if its a t-bird with a 5 speed, it was a turbo coupe. The transmission will be the low torque rated 5 speed with 4.0X 1st gear, or 3.97 1st gear. The 85's was a transition year for the t-birds and everything is potentially early or late, so who knows.

    The t-bird quadrant is different. Not saying it cant be made to work, but as delivered it's different.

    Many better donors out there if that's all you are interested in.

    Said the car awas swapped out to a 302 so tranny isn't a prob but he also said the quadrant was also from a gt ! So that's not a concern either

    just the pedals are a concern

    and is the crossmember different from auto to 5spd

    and is drive shaft diff
