The T 5 will work if you're not running that combo hard.
I started with a T 5 out of T/C (3.95 low), in the Mustang.
First problem was the syncros wouldn't let me power shift it over 6 grand.
So I bought a Harbor Freight Dremel copy and slick shifted 2,3,4. Then took 5th gear completely out of it.
I had to make a shifter blocking plate so I couldn't go from 2nd to 5th. The 3rd gear slot was a little narrow and hard to find while pushing away from you.
After that, I never had a shifting problem for the two years that I ran the stick shift.
